The Great Elephant Census is designed to provide accurate and up-to-date data about the number and distribution of African elephants by using standardized aerial surveys of tens of hundreds of thousands of square miles.

Our standardized method of data collection and review, including validation by technical advisers, ensures all data is impartial and accurate.
