Explanation:

Recently, World Animal Protection, India has requested the Rajasthan Government to retire all captive elephants currently used for riding in Amer Fort in Rajasthan.

These elephants suffer from a host of maladies and illnesses caused due to their incarceration in captivity in a state that is not a natural elephant range state.

On the basis of the recommendations of the expert team, recently, twenty sick elephants were retired from rides in Amer Fort.

World Animal Protection, has wholeheartedly welcomed this study of Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change and all associated organisations and the subsequent directive of the forest department of Rajasthan to retire twenty sick elephants from rides in Amer Fort.
