Aerial Surveys

The Great Elephant Census

The Great Elephant Census (2014-2016) is the first large-scale aerial survey of elephants across Africa in more than 40 years. It aims to get an accurate count of savanna elephants throughout Africa. The project (founded and managed by philanthropist Paul G. Allen) brings together elephant nonprofit organizations and governmental organizations to conduct 72 aerial surveys in 20 countries using standardized methods. The map shows the surveys that are complete, underway, and planned.
