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.

The inspection team made the following major recommendations:

Firstly, in a phased manner, the elephant rides at Amer Fort may be withdrawn and switched over to other modes of transportation like electric or battery-operated vehicles.

The declining trend of tourists on elephant rides and ageing animals have also been pointed as indicators for changes.

The owners of the elephants also may be rehabilitated suitably in such situations.

The new addition of elephants for rides should be completely banned.
