The National Green Tribunal (NGT) has directed the Odisha government to notify 14 elephant corridors and the action plan for elephant conservation in two months. The NGT, Eastern Zone, delivered the order after hearing a petition from the Wildlife Society of Orissa (WSO), an environmental pressure group that had moved the tribunal against the delay in notifying the corridor plan. In 2010, the Principal Chief Conservator of Forests (PCCF) (Wildlife) made a detail presentation of the elephant corridors, identifying the 14 with a total area of 870.61 sq. km, having a length of 420.8 km and a width of 0.08 km to 4.6 km.
