Sooriyabandara said in a media statement.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000000;\">The last such survey was carried out in 2011 and the population of wild elephants then had been recorded at 5879. They included 122 tuskers and 1,107 calves. Sooriyabandara said that the 2011 survey had been restricted to habitats around water reservoirs during the dry season.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000000;\">The DWC expects to deploy over 7,000 wildlife officers to cover over 2,000 habitats. Unlike in 2011,\u00a0this year\u2019s survey will also be conducted in the Northern and Eastern Provinces. &#8220;University students, non-governmental organizations, and the general public who wish to be a part of this survey can contact the Wildlife Department on\u00a0011 &#8211; 2888\u00a0585.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000000;\">The 2011 survey was fraught with controversy as environmental organizations which were to provide 500 researchers refrained from taking part in the census after former Agrarian Services and Wildlife Minister S.M. Chandrasena stated that the chief objective of the elephant census was to identify, capture and domesticate 300 young elephants and tuskers suitable to carry caskets in Peraheras.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000000;\">\u00a0These cartoons were done by Navaratnarajah Senthikumaran aka Kumaran, a cartoonist par excellence, who lives in Singapore, for the last Sri Lankan Elephant census in 2011.
