Joint count of elephant and big cats

Subject: Environment

Section: Indices

  • The Union government will for the first time in 2022 present a unified count of the tiger, leopard and elephant populations of the country.
  • The tiger survey is usually held once in four years and elephants are counted once in five years.
  • According to the most recent 2018-19 survey, there are 2,967 tigers in India.
  • According to the last count in 2017, there are 29,964 elephants.
  • Elephant numbers would be estimated by States based on DNA analysis of their dung droppings and statistical techniques.
  • Tigers are counted by deploying camera traps, identifying individuals based on stripes, as well as statistical analysis.
  • Because elephants number more than tigers and are hard to tell apart from camera-trap images alone, it is more economical and feasible to use their dung for identification.
