They are one of the few large mammals still surviving on the island. Sumatran elephants have distinctive smaller bodies compared to their mainland Asian relatives and have thicker hair. Unfortunately, their population continues to decline due to habitat loss and poaching.

Sumatran elephants face extinction due to several threats. Habitat loss from deforestation and human expansion is a major factor. Poaching for their ivory is a serious problem. Human-elephant conflict, climate change, and diseases also contribute to their decline. These challenges have made conservation efforts for these magnificent creatures increasingly urgent.
