Conservation officials say they are working to prevent the herd from turning backElephant herd leaves KEPZ after days of rampage, may try to return ‘again’A herd of wild elephants that wreaked havoc in the Korean Export Processing Zone (KEPZ) area of Chattogram’s Anwara has moved back towards the forest. While sightings were reported before, residents and forest officials said it was less frequent. By late 2018, a group of elephants had taken up permanent residence in the KEPZ area. Wildlife officials said there were four adult elephants—two male and two female—in the KEPZ area. “If there were enough reservoirs in the forest, the elephants would not come to KEPZ,” he said.
