Crisis Facing Elephants

Elephants are highly intelligent animals with expansive, diverse home ranges and complex social and ecological relationships. In many areas, elephant populations are highly threatened due to loss of habitat, human-elephant conflict, and poaching for ivory and bushmeat. As of 2013, the Asian elephant population had experienced a 90 percent decline in the past 100 years, and some experts suggest 95 percent of their original habitat has been lost over the same period. Estimates vary, but most agree that there has been a 75 percent decline in the elephant population in Africa. Today, there are thought to be between 300,000 and 500,000 wild elephants in Africa and less than 50,000 wild elephants in Asia. Asian elephants are recognized as critically endangered, African savanna elephants are endangered, and African forest elephants are critically endangered.

Since 2018, The Elephant Sanctuary has worked with international partners to support elephants living in Asia and Africa. Our grant program annual funding is directed to partners actively working to study and protect elephants, provide solutions and mitigate threats. Over the past ten years, The Elephant Sanctuary has funded 10 organizations in 20 range states. Learn more about our International Partners here.
