Wild elephants are eating at garbage dumps in Polonnaruwa, Sri Lanka, on February 14, 2024. Sri Lanka is currently facing a severe elephant crisis, with a steady increase in elephant deaths over the past few years. In 2020, 318 elephants died due to various causes, a number that rose to 375 in 2021 and reached a worrying 433 in 2022. Even in 2023, the death toll remained high, with approximately 400 elephant deaths reported. These deaths are primarily due to human-elephant conflicts, shootings, motor accidents, and diseases. With an estimated population of 6,000 elephants, the loss of roughly one elephant per day highlights the escalating wildlife conflict in Sri Lanka. Immediate action is essential to tackle the root causes of this crisis and protect the future of these magnificent animals and the biodiversity they embody.
