🚨 Awareness Notice: Feeding wild elephants can be dangerous and encourages risky behavior—for both humans and animals. Always keep a safe distance and respect wildlife laws. Let’s protect nature, not provoke it.

⚠️ Please keep yourself and the elephants safe!

• Observe from a distance – never approach or touch wild elephants.
• Do NOT feed them – human food can harm their health and encourages dangerous behavior.
• Stay inside your vehicle when elephants are near roads or villages.
• Remain calm and silent – loud noises and flash photography can startle them.
• Give elephants the right-of-way; they are unpredictable when stressed.
• Report injured or distressed elephants to local wildlife authorities, not online.

Together we can protect Sri Lanka’s gentle giants and keep everyone safe.
