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... in India, meaning India is home to roughly half of the world’s remaining wild Asian elephants. Within India, the Western Ghats are the great elephant stronghold. Karnataka (6,013), Tamil Nadu (3,136) and Kerala (2,785) together have 11,934 elephants, more than 53% of India’s entire estimated population. Tamil Nadu has the third-highest elephant population in the country, after Karnataka and Assam. India’s top five elephant states are: Karnataka 6,013 | Assam 4,159 | Tamil Nadu 3,136 | Kerala 2,785 | Uttarakhand 1,792. Together they account for nearly 80% of India’s elephants. This #WorldElephantDay, we must resolve to do everything we can to conserve elephants #worldElephantDay2026 #elephants #elephantday Brilliant capture Pravin Shanmughanandamshow more

Hello ma'am, something akin to a pandacam would greatly enhance the awareness about protecting elephants and their natural habitats in India. I understand that elephants are not bred in captivity, however if you have a source video footage of elephant movements, that'd be very helpful

@IUCN @IUCNsos @IUCNRedList @WWFINDIA @WWF @UNEP @UNBiodiversity @tnforestdept @moefcc Elephants have been the backbone of civilization in Indian subcontinent, sadly we have lost so many that numbers are going down even after so many dedicated conservation efforts. Thank you for your selfless service towards conservation Mam.

@IUCN @IUCNsos @IUCNRedList @WWFINDIA @WWF @UNEP @UNBiodiversity @tnforestdept @moefcc My great great grand father went to marry sitting right on household elephant. His son had to flee Homeland (the then East Bengal) and took shelter in remaining India. Now I am left with the only option of watching elephants on discovery channel.

@IUCN @IUCNsos @IUCNRedList @WWFINDIA @WWF @UNEP @UNBiodiversity @tnforestdept @moefcc Long live Gentle Giants!
