Once numbering in the millions, the African elephant population has dwindled to between 470,000 and 690,000 individuals according to a March 2007 estimate. The world population of Asian elephants -- also called Indian Elephants -- is estimated to be around 60,000.

There are an estimated 500,000 African and 40,000 Indian elephants alive, including about 2000 total in zoo populations.

A reduction in the illegal ivory trade would improve their chances of survival, as many are illegally killed by poachers each year. Habitat loss is another major threat in India and other Asian elephant countries.

African- about 600,000

Asian- about 80,000
