Pak Aboo was having coffee with a friend when an ordinary conversation about motorcycles drifted toward forests, and then toward elephants.
He asked his friend whether he had ever seen a wild elephant captured and relocated. The friend shook his head and asked how such an operation was carried out.
Have you ever seen a wild elephant captured and relocated?
Pak Aboo smiled and began to explain. The article frames the discussion around a simple reminder: elephants can be moved, but their memories cannot.
Never. But how do you actually capture an elephant?
