A harrowing picture of a baby Asian elephant on fire has won the top prize in The Sanctuary Wildlife Photography Awards 2017.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The image, entitled ‘Hell is Here,’ was taken by Biplab Hazra and shows an elephant mother and calf fleeing from a mob in the Bankura district of West Bengal.<\/p>\n

The Sanctuary Wildlife Photography Awards<\/a> was created to highlight wildlife conservation with evocative photography.<\/p>\n

Hara said of the image: “In the Bankura district of West Bengal, this sort of humiliation of pachyderms is routine, as it is in the other elephant-range states of Assam, Odisha, Chhattisgarh and Tamil Nadu, among others.<\/p>\n

“India is the world\u2019s stronghold for the Asian elephant, home to over 70% of the global population of the species.<\/p>\n

“But this achievement rings hollow as vital elephant habitats and routes continue to be ravaged, and human-elephant conflict escalates to a fatal degree.”<\/p>\n

Hazra beat 5,000 other entries across Asia to win the prize, which is the highest the awards have ever received.<\/p>\n\t\t
