With time, Lakhi’s age caught up with her, and she showed signs of slowing down, old injuries got inflamed and she seemed to prefer resting against the mud beds in her enclosure. Late Saturday evening on the 3rd of March, she seemed more weary than usual, and even as her knees buckled under her, Asha and Coco rushed to her side to support her. Asha appeared calm and strong, as if she knew in her own way that this was it – Coco panicked initially, rushing about and running circles around her fallen friend. The team rushed in, the crane was called in to lift her back to her feet and support her – the elephants moved aside and watched, Asha touching them gently as they huddled together. They stood back as the team tried to get her back to her feet, even the younger elephants seemed uncharacteristically calm. Maybe they knew, maybe they realised it was time to let go and had their chance to say their goodbyes, and wanted to let her pass in peace. Lakhi resisted being lifted, as if she too knew her time had come. She let out her final breath and slumped down against the mud bed, eyes shut looking like she was completely at peace. As the team moved away, heartbroken, Asha rumbled loudly from where she was standing, but none of the elephants moved – Coco let out a small wail, and from every enclosure elephants responded softly with rumbles, trumpets and huffs all the way from the bulls to the closerby females like Phoolkali like an orchestra of calm, reassuring solidarity for their fallen friend.

Within the 756,00-acre Sawtooth National Forest, Stanley Lake lies at the foot of the Sawtooth Mountains. The lake provides a fantastic view of the area's mountain peaks and pine tree forests.
Kentucky Lake is one of the largest artificial lakes in the eastern United States. It's a bustling vacation destination that attracts up to 17 million visitors yearly. Resorts, state parks, public access areas, camps, clubs, and wildlife preserves dot the shoreline.
The stunning natural landscape of Moosehead Lake is a haven for wildlife lovers. In the forested wilderness surrounding the lake, observers can spot moose, white-tailed deer, black bears, Ruffed Grouse, and the endangered Peregrine Falcon.
Redfish Lake is the largest lake in the Sawtooth National Recreation Area. They named it for the bright red color of the sockeye salmon that was once abundant in it.
Wildlife lovers will have a swell time at Lake Texoma. The lake is a critical habitat for native fish species, especially the striped bass. Nearby are the Hagerman and Tishomingo National Wildlife refuges.
Some people call Lake Hartwell the Great Lake of the South. It is serene with a rustic beauty. The lake borders South Carolina and Georgia. Although well known, it is relatively quiet and is a perfect place for a personal retreat type of vacation.
The shallow Utah Lake is one of the largest freshwater lakes in the Western U.S. The Lake and its surroundings–the Utah Lake State Park and several waterfowl and bird preserves are critical wildlife sanctuaries. It is home to 18 species of fish, including the endangered June Sucker.
The global oil palm industry started growing in the 16th century. At first, palm groves only served the residents of Nigeria and West Africa until Europeans started an export trade system in the 16th century. The export trade system grew more profitable in the 19th century.
The production of palm oil starts with oil palm plantations and the growth of palm fruits. To start an oil palm plantation, they plant a certain number of seedlings that grow into palm trees and begin bearing fruit in the third year, with the yield increasing as the years pass. However, palm trees produce fewer fruits when they reach 25 years of age and older.
The next step in producing palm oil from oil palms is sterilizing or cooking the fruits. At this stage of oil palm production, they use high-temperature wet-heat treatment on the fruits. Sterilization treatment uses pressurized heat, while the cooking method uses hot water. Smallholder oil palm plantations often use cooking because they cannot generate steam.
