Imagine a world without elephants. Imagine forests without them. They would never be as rich, resilient and alive as they are when elephants roam through them as ecosystem engineers ! India is so lucky to have elephants. The latest Wildlife Institute of India DNA-based assessment estimates 22,446 wild elephants...

India continues to show us the harsh reality Elephants are facing every single day there. Captive Elephants are captured, beaten and forced to live a life of slavery but wild Elephants are also not shown respect or mercy. Can you imagine how the Elephants forced to help capture this Elephant must feel? 🎦 Credit: Rajeev Kurup.

As a beautiful family of elephants crosses the railway track at Madukkarai in Coimbatore, an AI-powered early warning system by the Tamil Nadu Forest Department ensures their safe passage, a sight that fills the heart with warmth. What better tribute to elephants on the #WorldElephantDay than guaranteeing their right to a safe life. Since November 2023, this system has ensured zero elephant deaths on the tracks. We have installed 12 towers and 24 thermal cameras on constant watch, 6,592 elephants have crossed safely. Saluting forest rangers, track watchers, guards, loco pilots and officers who are making this possible. Lets do more of these interventions to ensure long term survival of these beautiful elephant families.

How many elephants can you count? During his morning patrol over Tsavo, pilot Roan tallied more than 150 elephants in this herd. It’s a sign of the times: When food and water are plentiful, elephants can aggregate in great numbers without putting too much stress on the landscape. This ecosystem is home to Kenya’s biggest population of elephants. Spanning 50,000 square kilometres, it is prime elephant country. While Tsavo’s elephants enjoy themselves, we will be patrolling overhead and on the ground, working to keep them safe. Learn more and support our conservation work:

India is home to one of the richest and most diverse landscapes on Earth. On #WorldElephantDay we can proudly say that nearly 60% of the world’s wild Asian elephants live here, a living symbol of our ecological heritage. They embody majestic beauty, hold deep religious and cultural significance. Under the leadership of Hon’ble PM Shri Narendra Modi Ji, India's elephant reserves stand as a testament of commitment towards conservation. There are 33 elephant reserves across 14 states protecting critical habitats and conserving migration routes. Elephants are ecosystem's engineer. As they roam, they disperse seeds across long distances, giving rise to new plants. Every step of an elephant keeps nature in balance. Let’s unite to protect and preserve these gentle giants. #WorldElephantDay2026 #SaveElephants #ProjectElephant #विश्व_हाथी_दिवस MoEF&CC National Museum of Natural History Wildlife Institute of India Zoological Survey of India Central Zoo Authority Wildlife Trust of India Pawan Kalyan Ramesh Pandey

From tiny orphans in need to wild-living families, we support elephants every step of their lives. Elephant conservation is not the work of a moment, but a monumental, multi-generational commitment. The lifespan of an elephant mirrors our own. As we nurture the orphans of today, we are working on the bigger picture — securing entire landscapes, safeguarding wild lives, and tackling root threats like poaching, habitat loss, and human-wildlife conflict — to secure a future for all elephants. To date, we have rescued over 300 orphaned elephants and welcomed 77 wild grandbabies of our Orphans' Project. Our fast growing elephant family tree is a testament to the success of this 'big picture' conservation work. Every life saved, every wild baby born, is a result of thousands of kilometres patrolled by rangers, countless hours flown by pilots, long days and sleepless nights worked by teams in the field. Will you become part of the bigger picture? Join us this #WorldElephantDay (and every day) in protecting Kenya's elephants — become a donor or adopt an orphan:

At all our reintegration units the focus is on supporting the orphans as they transition back to the wild. For the female elephants this leads on to starting a family of their own. To date, we know of 77 calves born to elephants we’ve rescued and raised: their wild-living mothers choosing return, so that we might share in their joy. Three of the births in the last year have been in Umani. Babies Sulwe and Zigi, under the watchful gaze of mothers Sonje and Zongoloni, are two of them. Your support helps us rescue orphans, who in turn herald a next generation of elephants. Meet them at:

Let’s Just Stop Abusing Elephants In The Name Of Religion!! Perahera is an event that attracts people from around the world, promoted for its grandeur by tour companies, and attended by Buddhists with deep faith. Each year, between 50–70 Elephants are forced to participate in the procession. Amidst the scorching heat, each Elephant is draped in heavy cloth that covers their entire body, including their head — leaving only their eyes exposed. On top of this, their heads are decorated with hot, heavy lightbulbs. How many people in the crowd truly look into those wide-open eyes — eyes filled with stress, fear, and panic? These ornate cloths are not for beauty — they hide the cruel chains binding the Elephants’ legs. Their front legs are shackled together like handcuffs. Their hind legs are chained together. And often, all four legs are linked, restricting every movement. Is this truly a religious act? Buddhism teaches compassion and peaceful coexistence with all beings. How does this cruelty toward Elephants reflect those values? Today is World Elephant Day — a day meant to remind humanity of the importance of Elephants. But in reality, Elephants remain unprotected, even in religious ceremonies. On #WorldElephantDay, please use your voice. Speak out against Elephant cruelty. Educate others.

We have now met 94 babies born wild to orphan elephants we rescued, raised and rewilded. In a wonderful demonstration of the lifelong bond they form with the Keepers, many of our ex-orphan mums return to our reintegration units after giving birth to show off their babies to the people who raised them. We have even witnessed several mothers returning to give birth at our units! Every rescue carries this possibility within it. At our Umani Springs unit, we are watching a new generation of elephants enter the world. What began with two elephants in 2014 – Murera and Sonje – has grown into a family herd already featuring four wild-born babies, with more on the way! This success is one of five examples of elephant conservation in action:

Zero deaths. That is the mission. A dedicated team of forest officers, patrolling staff, loco pilots, drone operators and control centre monitors works round the clock at Tamil Nadu’s AI-powered Elephant Control and Command Centre in Madukkarai in Coimbatore to keep elephants safe. In just over two and a half years, the system has facilitated around 9,481 safe elephant crossings ensuring Zero elephant deaths on Railway Tracks, demonstrating how technology, human vigilance and teamwork can come together to protect wildlife. The system has generated more than 7,116 real-time alerts for railway authorities and loco pilots, leading to 3,821 instances where trains were slowed down or stopped to allow elephants to cross safely. Beyond elephants, the system has also detected deer, gaurs and leopards, creating a comprehensive AI-enabled wildlife monitoring network. The Government of Tamil Nadu continues to strengthen the system. AI-powered drones have been deployed for wider landscape surveillance, extending monitoring beyond fixed thermal cameras and providing real-time situational awareness of elephant movements. No system can ever be perfect, and the worry never really goes away. But we must keep learning, improving and doing better. A big shoutout to these unsung heroes whose constant vigilance, dedication and hard work make this possible. #AIMadukkarai #AIForWildlife #Elephants #WildlifeConservation

Raising an orphaned elephant is a lot like raising a human child — it requires love, leadership, and the commitment of a lifetime. We make the same promise to every elephant we rescue: To nurture them through their infancy, giving them the confidence and competence to ultimately reclaim their place in the wild. But even after they have grown up and established their independent lives, our orphans continue to return 'home' to the people who raised them. They come back to us in times of trouble — seeking help for an injury or even bringing back wild friends in need. They also return in times of celebration — nearly every ex-orphan mum has chosen to introduce us to her wild offspring. Family is everything to elephants. It's everything to us, too: Our founder, Dame Daphne Sheldrick, was the first person in the world to successfully raise infant orphaned African elephants. Today, her legacy continues through both her own family, who proudly build upon the conservation foundations she laid, and the generations of orphaned elephants charting their own history in the wilds of Kenya. As we approach World Elephant Day (12th August), we invite you to learn more about our projects to protect the species at:

Yesterday, I have visited the Kumki Elephant Training Camp at Musalamadugu, Palamaneru and was delighted to see the excellent care and training being given to the elephants. With the help of these Kumkis, we have successfully carried out two operations, bringing great relief and happiness to the local communities. We are taking special care of the Kumkis — just as they were lovingly cared for in Karnataka. Our forest teams are continuously monitoring their health, conducting regular check-ups, and providing every necessary care and comfort. This collaboration between Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka reflects our shared commitment to wildlife protection and compassionate coexistence. We are deeply thankful to the Government and people of Karnataka for their invaluable support in providing these Kumki elephants to Andhra Pradesh. Our special thanks to Ms. Meenakshi Negi, IFS, Principal Chief Conservator of Forests & HoFF, and Sri Subhash Malkhede, Chief Wildlife Warden, Karnataka, for their guidance and cooperation in this effort. Special thanks to the people of Dubare and Sakrebyle for their warmth, support, and for wholeheartedly accepting and sending these Kumkis to Andhra Pradesh. These elephants have played a vital role in resolving human–elephant conflicts and ensuring safety for both people and wildlife. My heartfelt thanks to Hon’ble Chief Minister Sri Siddaramaiah Garu, Hon’ble Deputy Chief Minister Sri DK Shivakumar Garu, and Hon’ble Forest Minister Sri Eshwar Khandre Garu for their kind cooperation and partnership in this noble effort. - Pawan Kalyan PMO India MoEF&CC CM of Karnataka PIB India I & PR Andhra Pradesh PIB in Andhra Pradesh #KumkiElephants
