India is home to the greatest population of wild Asian elephants, estimated at 29,964 as of the 2017 Project Elephant census.
Approximately 60% of the species' total population is there.
The most elephants are found in Karnataka, then Assam, and Kerala.
India's Natural Heritage Animal is the elephant.
Elephants are regarded as a "Keystone Species" because of their vital contribution to the balance and wellbeing of forest ecosystems.
They are renowned for having the biggest brains of any land animal, which contributes to their extraordinary intelligence.
Elephants are particularly essential grazers and browsers in the ecosystem, eating large amounts of grass each day and dispersing seeds as they go.
The frequently dense foliage that covers the Asian environment is also shaped by them.
Conservative Initiatives:
Plans for proper monitoring and management, such as steps to reduce possible conflicts and post-relocation monitoring, should also be in place.
While moving difficult elephants may be considered as a strategy to reduce conflicts between people and elephants, it should be done so cautiously and on the basis of thorough management plans, community involvement, and sound scientific research in order to reduce potential risks and guarantee the welfare of both elephants and local communities.
