    Default Elephant clean up

    Hi all this action of cleaning up a working elephant took place in Kaziranga NP in Assam / India .
    The elephants are used by the forest guards for patrolling inside the NP , to look for poachers and other not very nice people . They also have to work in other cases inside the park , like moving timber etc .
    The forest guards live in the forest for the time they are on duty , normally a month period before they return home for a week . They live a hard live there with no electricity and other civilization stuff , only men do the jobs and they do stay there with 4 men in a simple elevated concrete house .
    No running water , just a manual pump that pumps bore water to the surface .But these guys seemed to be happy as far as i could tell , as i got the chance to talk to them cause our guide translated for us .

    Was a good experience to see that , but to be honest i could not live that way .....even if i love nature ..... i think i am poisoned by civilization .

    Cheers Andreas
