~60% of Asia's wild elephants — and the continent's largest database
India is home to roughly 30,000 wild Asian elephants across fragmented forests from Assam to the Western Ghats. Human-elephant conflict is intense, but community-led solutions — beehive fences, early warning systems, corridor securing — are scaling across the range.
