Elephant Crisis In Sri Lanka

Elephant Crisis In Sri Lanka

Wild elephants are being seen on the island of Polonnaruwa, Sri Lanka, on February 14, 2024. Sri Lanka is facing a grave elephant crisis, with a steady increase in elephant deaths over recent years. In 2020, 318 elephants succumbed to various causes, a number that climbed to 375 in 2021 and reached a distressing 433 in 2022. Even in 2023, the toll remains high, with approximately 400 elephant deaths reported. These fatalities stem primarily from human-elephant conflicts, shootings, motor accidents, and diseases. With an estimated population of 6,000 elephants, losing one elephant a day underscores the deepening wildlife conflict in Sri Lanka. Urgent measures are imperative to address the root causes of this crisis and safeguard the future of these majestic creatures and the biodiversity they represent.
