Es el mayor mamífero terrestre que existe en la actualidad. Se trata de una de las tres últimas especies de proboscídeos que sobreviven hoy en día, siendo las otras el elefante africano de bosque (Loxodonta cyclotis, previamente considerado una subespecie de L. africana) y el elefante asiático (Elephas maximus). Desde 2021 el elefante africano ha sido catalogado como en peligro de extinción en la Lista Roja de la UICN debido a que se descubrió que la población mundial ha disminuido en más del 50 % durante tres generaciones. Aproximadamente el 70 % de su área de distribución se encuentra fuera de las áreas protegidas.
