The overall goal of MIKE is to provide information needed for elephant range States to make appropriate management and enforcement decisions, and to build institutional capacity within the range States for the long-term management of their elephant populations.
The Monitoring the Illegal Killing of Elephants (MIKE) Programme has been implemented by the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) Secretariat together with African elephant range States and with the support of the European Commission (EC) since 2001. The programme aims to generate reliable and impartial data on the status and trends in illegal killing of African elephant populations, as a basis for international and range State decision-making and action concerning elephant conservation.
The dashboards plots the total number of elephant carcasses and number of illegally killed elephant carcasses encountered at reporting MIKE sites. The aggregation is done at the continental level (Africa & Asia) and its subregion. The final plot shows the counts for a particular MIKE site.

Total number of elephant carcasses and number of illegally killed elephant carcasses encountered at reporting MIKE sites:
| Region | Sub Region | Sub Region ID | Country | # | Site | Site Code | Date found | Total Carcasses | Illegal Carcasses |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Region | Sub Region | Sub Region ID | Country | # | Site | Site Code | Date found | Total Carcasses | Illegal Carcasses |
The MIKE Programme is entirely dependent on donor support. The European Union has been the most important donor for the MIKE programme and has funded implementation in Africa since its inception in 2001, and in Asia since 2017.
