Indias elephant population is estimated between 10,000 and 15,000, the largest in Asia. About half of these are found in the northeastern states of Assam, Arunachal Pradesh and Meghaiaya located in far northeastern India

How many wild elephants are left in the world?

Once numbering in the millions, the African elephant population has dwindled to between 470,000 and 690,000 individuals according to a March 2007 estimate. The world population of Asian elephants -- also called Indian Elephants -- is estimated to be around 60,000. There are an estimated 500,000 African and 40,000 Indian elephants alive, including about 2000 total in zoo populations. A reduction in the illegal ivory trade would improve their chances of survival, as many are illegally killed by poachers each year. Habitat loss is another major threat in India and other Asian elephant countries. African- about 600,000 Asian- about 80,000
