Er is veel werk verricht om de olifantenpopulatie in de wereld te bepalen, maar het is ongelooflijk moeilijk om nauwkeurige cijfers te krijgen. Deskundigen kunnen slechts gissen naar het totale aantal Afrikaanse olifanten dat overblijft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Een algemeen aanvaarde schatting is dat er nog ongeveer 400.000 Afrikaanse olifanten over zijn, en tussen de 50.000 en 100.000 Aziatische olifanten die nog in het wild leven.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>De Afrikaanse olifantenpopulatie is in de afgelopen tien jaar met 62% afgenomen en zal naar verwachting tegen 2025 met nog eens 30% zijn afgenomen, waardoor zij een bedreigde diersoort is geworden. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In feite wordt de olifant bestempeld als \"ernstig bedreigd\" en het WWF (World Wildlife Fund) en andere organisaties proberen verschillende... <a href=\"https:\/\/elephantguide.com\/nl\/instandhoudingsmaatregelen\/\">conserveringsinspanningen<\/a> om te helpen het doden van deze bedreigde soorten te stoppen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-dots\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"the-elephant-population-as-of-2022\">De olifantenpopulatie in 2023<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-drop-cap\">Zoals gezegd wordt algemeen aangenomen dat er nog ongeveer 450.000 tot 500.000 olifanten in de wereld zijn. Sommige experts stellen echter dat dit getal er wel eens ver naast zou kunnen zitten als het gaat om het aantal olifanten dat nog in het wild leeft, en zeggen dat het waarschijnlijker is dat het om ongeveer 350.000 olifanten gaat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Waarom lopen de cijfers over het aantal olifanten in de wereld zo uiteen? De belangrijkste reden is dat het aantal olifanten in de wereld voortdurend verandert door ivoorstroperij en habitatverlies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Hoeveel olifanten zijn er nog in de wereld?\" width=\"580\" height=\"326\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/yhjuvzfhT9g?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Hoeveel olifanten zijn er nog in de wereld?<\/em> door <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCrcQ9wTOs2v_yi6etUEASNQ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ElephantGuide op YouTube<\/a>.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group alignfull has-subtle-background-background-color has-background\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"african-elephants-left-in-the-world\">Afrikaanse olifanten over in de wereld<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Er zijn naar schatting nog 400.000 Afrikaanse olifanten in de wereld.

De belangrijkste redenen zijn stroperij voor de illegale handel in ivoor, de groeiende menselijke bevolking op het platteland en daardoor het verlies van leefgebied voor de olifanten. Maar er zijn ook andere <a href=\"https:\/\/elephantguide.com\/nl\/waar-zijn-olifanten-bang-voor\/\">gevaren voor de olifant<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"elephant-poaching\">Olifantenstroperij<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Afrikaanse olifanten worden in alarmerend tempo gestroopt voor hun slagtanden. Het aantal gedode olifanten was in 2014 het hoogste in 25 jaar, met ongeveer 33.000 Afrikaanse olifanten die illegaal werden afgeslacht door stropers voor hun ivoor. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thailand is een centrum geworden voor illegale handel in producten van in het wild levende dieren, vooral ivoor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Een van de belangrijkste mijlpalen in de strijd tegen illegale olifantenstroperij was de consumentenboycot van ivoor. Dit leidde direct tot het besluit van China om de binnenlandse verkoop van ivoor eind 2017 te verbieden, wat van groot belang is om de vraag naar Afrikaanse slagtanden te verminderen. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Olifanten worden ook gestroopt voor medicinale doeleinden of gewoon voor hun vlees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"human-wildlife-conflict\">Menselijk wild conflict<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Naarmate de populaties groeien, dringt de mens zich op in sommige leefgebieden van olifanten. Dit leidt vaak tot conflicten tussen de twee soorten als olifanten gewassen vernietigen of mensen verwonden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Olifanten worden ook gedood omdat zij per ongeluk infrastructuur zoals wegen en spoorwegen beschadigen. India telt naar schatting 100.000 gevallen van conflicten tussen mens en olifant per jaar, waarbij ongeveer 400 doden vallen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"illegal-trade-of-ivory-tusks\">Illegale handel in ivoren slagtanden<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Ivoor wordt overal ter wereld illegaal verhandeld, maar enkele van de ergste overtreders zijn landen in Afrika. Ivoor reist vaak door meerdere tussenpersonen voordat het zijn eindbestemming bereikt. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Traditie is in sommige gebieden een van de belangrijkste redenen om olifanten te doden, zelfs als dat niet nodig is voor voedsel of medicijnen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Er wordt geschat dat de illegale handel in ivoren slagtanden ongeveer $10 miljard per jaar waard is. De prijs die momenteel betaald wordt voor onbewerkt ivoor in Azi\u00eb ligt volgens een onderzoek van de Wildlife Justice Commission tussen de $597\/kg en $689\/kg, in Amerikaanse dollars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In sommige gevallen worden olifanten zelfs gedood door stropers, die hun slagtanden afzagen terwijl de dieren nog leven en ze vervolgens laten doodbloeden. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Slagtanden die niet worden gesneden voor de verkoop of door jagers als trofee worden gehouden, komen terecht op twee belangrijke markten - China en Thailand - waar olifantenslagtanden worden gebruikt voor siersnijwerk, eetstokjes, haarspelden en andere snuisterijen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"habitat-loss\">Verlies van habitat<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>De olifant is snel afgenomen als gevolg van het kappen van bossen door de mens voor ontwikkelings- of landbouwdoeleinden, wat in het algemeen leidt tot versnippering van het eens zo grote leefgebied dat olifanten nodig hebben om te leven.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Naast ontbossing hebben door de mens opgeworpen barri\u00e8res belangrijke migratieroutes en de toegang tot waterbronnen voor olifanten geblokkeerd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Habitatversnippering leidt tot problemen met het uitbreken van ziektes, omdat olifanten gedwongen worden gevaarlijke gebieden over te steken die ze normaal niet zouden oversteken om voedsel en water te bereiken. Dit veroorzaakt ook problemen met hun genetica, omdat kleine populaties van de soort zich niet vaak of helemaal niet vermengen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-dots\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"faq-on-the-elephant-populations\">FAQ over de olifantenpopulaties<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"schema-faq wp-block-yoast-faq-block\"><div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1644144568364\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong>Hoeveel olifanten zijn er nog in de wereld in 2022?<\/strong><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Er zijn naar schatting nog 400.000-450.000 Afrikaanse olifanten en 35.000-55.000 Aziatische olifanten over op de wereld.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1644144569907\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong>Welk percentage Aziatische olifanten leeft nog in het wild?<\/strong><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Het percentage Aziatische olifanten dat nog in het wild leeft is ongeveer 60%.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1644144570747\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong>Hoeveel olifanten worden er per dag gedood?<\/strong><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Naar schatting worden er gemiddeld 90-110 olifanten per dag gedood door stropers.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1644144598942\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong>Wie heeft de meeste olifanten ter wereld?<\/strong><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Botswana zou nog tussen 130.000 en 150.000 olifanten hebben, terwijl Zuid-Afrika op de tweede plaats komt met ongeveer 100.000 olifanten.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1644144599671\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong>Hoe lang voordat olifanten zijn uitgestorven?<\/strong><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Omdat stroperij een probleem blijft, kan de Afrikaanse olifant binnen 10 jaar uitsterven als we niet snel genoeg werken.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1644144623161\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong>Welk percentage olifanten werd gedood door stropers?<\/strong><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Ongeveer de helft van alle olifanten die tussen 2010 en 2012 in Afrika werden gedood, werd gedood door stropers.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1644144623859\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong>Hoeveel olifanten waren er 100 jaar geleden nog in de wereld?<\/strong><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Begin 1900 waren er naar schatting 10 miljoen olifanten in Afrika en Azi\u00eb.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1644144644215\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong>Welk percentage van alle olifanten werd gedood van 2010 tot 2012?<\/strong><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Tussen 2010 en 2012 werd tussen 31 en 4% van alle Afrikaanse olifanten gedood, wat neerkomt op ongeveer 30.000 olifanten.<\/p> <\/div> <\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>While some African elephant populations are growing primarily in southern Africa, other areas are seeing decreasing populations.
