The second synchronous elephant census will be conducted for three days from May 23 in Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka and Kerala.
This census is designed to identify areas of human-elephant conflict and to improve inter-state collaboration for future planning and policy decisions.
The Asian elephant has been classified as Endangered on the IUCN Red List since 1986, underscoring the urgency of conservation measures and the significance of the forthcoming census in aiding these efforts.
