K. Ramkumar (43), a wildlife biologist from Tamil Nadu who died of COVID-19 on Tuesday, is remembered by conservationists as a person who dedicated his entire profession for the conservation of elephants and protection of corridors.
A native of Sirkali in Mayiladuthurai district, Ramkumar died at a hospital at Kumbakonam early on Tuesday.
A wildlife biologist attached to the Wildlife Trust of India (WTI), he was central in securing the Wayanad corridor over seven years and was also working to secure another corridor in BRT-Sathyamangalam landscape, WTI remembered Ramkumar in an obituary.
“He was the backbone in mapping the first edition of the ‘Right of Passage’, the corridor book that has become the go-to reference for elephant conservation in India. He has authored several research reports,papers and popular articles, and is co-editor of ‘Right of Passage: Elephant Corridors of India (2nd Edition),” it said.

The death of an elephant in the Nilgiris spotlights the tussle over a conservation project
The Sigur Elephant Corridor, connecting the Western and Eastern Ghats, is facing resistance because it will displace over 12,000 people.
The recent conflict between the owners of a homestay and a male elephant in the Mudumalai Tiger Reserve in the Nilgiris in Tamil Nadu, that led to the death of the tusker, has again brought into focus the tussle over land that is being earmarked for elephant movement in the area. The dispute, which has gone through years of litigation in the courts, got intense after the area to be acquired for the corridor was expanded, displacing those whose lives and livelihoods depended on the lands that were being earmarked for the animals.
