Bhubaneswar, Nov 16: The Odisha government began the elephant census today in Athgarh to evaluate both the resident elephant population and the transient elephants that frequently migrate from neighboring states like Jharkhand and Chhattisgarh.

This census aims to enhance the understanding and management of the conservation challenges facing elephants in the state.

Growing concerns regarding habitat capacity highlight the urgent need for conservation measures to address habitat imbalances and ensure the well-being of Odisha's elephant population.

 

Overcrowding has resulted in ecological stress, with limited food, water, and living space affecting the elephants' health and resistance to diseases. This situation is particularly concerning for young calves and juveniles, who are more susceptible to bacterial infections.

 

Worth mentioning, Odisha is home to around 2,100 elephants, which is approximately 400 more than the sustainable capacity of the region.
