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 is elephant conservation in action: moving mountains to save a life and secure a species’ future. 🐘 Last year alone, our teams: • Shepherded nearly 400 elephants off community land to safety • Treated 260 elephants for injuries in the field • Supported 17 elephant rescues from dams and wells This was one such operation: a herculean, four-day mission against time, terrain and rising tides to pull off one of our most challenging rescues yet.

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:

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 protecting elephant corridors to reducing human-elephant conflict, we have been working to help these gentle giants thrive in the wild. In Odisha, Tata Power’s Gaja Sanrakshana is bringing together safer power infrastructure, technology-enabled early-warning systems, science-based conservation, community participation, and coordinated action to strengthen early-warning networks, track elephant movement and enable timely intervention. Tata Motors’ Project Maximus is bringing together on-ground interventions and science-based conservation to better understand elephant habitats, migration routes and conflict zones across Jharkhand and the Nilgiri Biosphere Reserve. In the Western Ghats, Tata Coffee is using GIS mapping, radio-collar tracking, awareness programmes and solar fencing across its estate to reduce elephant intrusions and enable safer coexistence. And in Tamil Nadu, Tata Electronics is supporting elephant safety through protective fencing and AI-enabled monitoring that provides real-time alerts for timely intervention. Together, through these efforts, we are helping create safer spaces for elephants and the communities that share their landscapes. #ThisIsTata Tata Motors Tata Power Tata Electronics Pvt Ltd Tata Consumer Products

On the occasion of Vinayaka Chavithi, I visited the Gutchimi Elephant Holding Area in Parvathipuram Manyam District and appreciated the Forest Department’s ongoing elephant conservation efforts and measures being taken to mitigate human–elephant conflict under the leadership of Honourable Deputy CM Pawan Kalyan garu. I interacted with elephant trackers, forest officials, mahouts and the veterinarian, and they briefed me the field-level monitoring practices and the movement of wild elephants. I appreciate the dedication and commitment of the Forest Department personnel working on the ground to ensure both wildlife conservation and public safety. As part of the visit, I planted Raavi and Vepa saplings in the Gutchimi Reserve Forest and had the opportunity to feed nutritious enrichment food to our Kumki elephants, Jayanth and Abhimanyu. Coming just ahead of the Ganesh festival, spending time with these magnificent animals made the visit even more special. AP-GREEN remains committed to supporting this balance between conservation and human well-being. #APGREEN #WildlifeConservation #KumkiElephants #AndhraPradesh

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:

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

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.
