Asian elephant
The Asian elephant is vulnerable to climate change due to high freshwater requirements, sensitivity to extreme heat, and low adaptive capacity caused by habitat fragmentation and slow reproductive rates. While generalist feeding habits provide some resilience, the species faces significant threats from invasive plants, disease, and human-elephant conflict, which may be exacerbated by climate stressors. Recommended strategies include securing freshwater sources, maintaining connected habitats, and supporting human adaptation to reduce encroachment and conflict.
