Enumeration - गणना (Elephant Population - भारत में हाथियों की जनसंख्या )
The first exclusive exercise for enumeration of wild elephants in the ERs was conducted during February to May 2005. This exercise also sought to experiment with two sampling methods, viz. Block sampling and Line transect-Dung Count. PE arranged for training of trainers and also issued detailed guidelines to the chief wildlife wardens and the field coordinators. Total population of elephants in 2005 was nearly 21,200. The latest elephant census in india carried out in 2012 put elephant numbers between 27,785 and 31,368.
Monitoring Against Elephant Poaching ( हाथी के अवैध शिकार के खिलाफ निगरानी)
Project Elephant has been formally implementing MIKE (Monitoring of Illegal Killing of Elephants) programme of in 10 ERs since January 2004. It is mandated by COP resolution of CITES. It was started in South Asia in 2003 with the following purpose:
To measure levels and trends in illegal hunting of
elephants.
To determine changes in these trends overtime.
To determine the factors causing or associated with these
changes and to try and assess in particular to what extent observed trends are
a result of any decisions taken by the Conference of the Parties to CITES.
Data are collected from all sites on monthly basis in
specified MIKE patrol form and submitted to Sub-Regional Support Office for
South Asia Programme in Delhi who are assisting Ministry in implementation of
the programme.
