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.
