Meghalaya, known for its hill communities and rich natural heritage, supports 677 wild elephants, making it home to the second-largest elephant population in Northeast India, after Assam, according to the Status of Elephants in India: DNA-Based Synchronous All India Elephant Estimation (SAIEE 2021–2025) report.
This is certainly good news for Meghalaya, as its protected areas have been rated "good" according to the Management Effectiveness Evaluation (MEE) 2020-25 report was brought out by the Wildlife Institute of India.
