A wild tusker looks for food from the people in Udawalawe, Sri Lanka, on December 01, 2024. Sri Lanka loses over 400 elephants every year, mostly due to conflicts with humans as their habitats are destroyed. Forced to raid farms for food, many elephants are killed by gunshots, traps, or electrocution. These clashes also claim 145 human lives in 2023. Experts warn that without urgent action to protect habitats and reduce conflicts, Sri Lanka's wild elephants could face extinction.

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.
