  1. Poaching: Elephants are often targeted by poachers for their tusks due to the high demand for ivory. Illegal poaching activities have significantly reduced elephant populations in many areas.

  2. Human-wildlife conflict: Encounters with humans, such as conflicts over territory, food, or safety, can lead to the death of elephants. This includes incidents of elephants raiding crops, leading to retaliation from farmers.

  3. Disease: While elephants have strong immune systems, they can still be susceptible to diseases. Outbreaks of Infectious Diseases can spread within elephant populations and have devastating effects.

  4. Habitat loss: Deforestation, urbanization, and human development activities have led to the loss of elephant habitats. This can force elephants into smaller areas with limited resources, increasing their vulnerability.

  5. Natural disasters: In certain situations, natural disasters such as droughts, floods, or wildfires can have negative impacts on elephant populations by causing food scarcity or habitat destruction.
