1915-1988 (officially 1990): Present Namibia was refered to as South-West Africa.
2016: The elephant population in Namibia currently stands at 24 091, as stated in the census of the 2016 elephants survey.
2020: The Namibian elephant population has trebled since 1990, which has resulted in a sharp spike in human-elephant conflict.
2022: Namibia has an estimated elephant population of 24 000. According to CITES, since 1996, Namibian elephants have been classified under Appendix two - which means they are not necessarily threatened with extinction, but trade must be controlled to avoid selling them to conditions not compatible with their survival.
