Endangered Elephants
In countries that elephants are endangered, there are laws
to protect them. Unfortunately, this doesn't help. Scientists believe that
elephants will become extinct in some parts of Africa in 50 years. Elephant
population has gone from 1.3 million to 600,000 individuals in 1979 to 1987
because of poaching. Tens of thousands of elephants are being killed for their
tusks annually! That is a lot of elephants!
