Elephants in Tamil Nadu
Tamil Nadu has a large population of elephants and with local conservation efforts the number is steadily increading. There are 2,961 elephants in Tamil Nadu, as per the Forest Department’s synchronised elephant population estimation done from May 17-19 in the four southern States. This is an increase from the figure 2,761, recorded in the survey done in 2017.
“There is a good mix of elephants of all age groups. If the age-wise distribution was skewed, it means something was wrong with the ecosystem. But we can see a healthy mix,” said Srinivas R. Reddy, Chief Wildlife Warden. He further said that the increase of 200 elephants from the 2017 survey indicated that the population was stable. “Our landscape is saturated.
