Yes, the Asian Elephant is endangered.
The primary causes are:
- Habitat loss, as humans deforest trees that they rely on for shade and protection
- Humans burning lands that they need for foraging so they can use them for human development such as agriculture
- Illegal poaching by humans for ivory
The Asian Elephant is a very temperamental but caring species. They will often wander through crops simply because the land they're grown on used to be theirs before humans stole it from them - this causes some farmers to attack the elephants and kill them. Illegally of course.
