This is a list of estimated global populations of elephant species (including their delineated subspecies). This list is generally comprehensive, but there is also uncertainty to some estimations.
The population has been reduced dramatically (african elephant populations in 18 countries declined by ~30%) since a mass ivory sell off by southern african countries in the early 2000's to present time. Although slight population increases were noted in certain SADC states (principally Botswana, Namibia, South Africa, and Zimbabwe), the continental Loxodonta africana metapopulation has declined dramatically.
