GPS study on elephant movements aims to reduce conflicts in Assam

The Assam Forest Department and WWF-India released a study tracking four female-led elephant herds and a solitary male across three districts.

Conducted between April 2021 and June 2026, the survey generated over 38,000 GPS locations to monitor seasonal movement patterns.

Officials stated the data will help strengthen conservation planning, protect natural habitats, and mitigate human-wildlife conflicts.
