Have you ever wondered about edangered species? Or what species are endangered and how important they are to life and the foodchain? People don't realize how much they are involved in our life today. That is why we are creating a research page to make everyone aware of endangered species such as the African Elephant. The african elephant is a majestic mammal,the largest land mammal living, but with the looks of it that won't be for too long. We keep ruining their habitat and making it hard for them to live without being hunted down. This is one of many reasons why we have decided to research these unique animals. Without African Elephants, our world would be very different than how we know it today, with out the beloved African Elephant there to occupy some space. Have you ever wondered about endangered species? Or what species are endangered, and how important they are to life and the food chain as it is today? People don't realize how much all animals are involved in our lives today. That is one of the main resons why Devon, Bree, and I are creating a research website to make everyone aware of endangered animals,the endangered animal we chose to research is the African Elephant. The African elephant is a majestic animal with unique features, that may no longer exist if Have you ever wondered about endangered species?

African elephants are endangered because of mostly one thing, and that one thing is poaching. Elephants are a commonly poached animals because oftheir tusks. Elephant's tusks are pirmarily made out of ivory which can be bought and sold at a high price. It is sad to think that all these elephants are dead just because people want to use their tusks to earn money for themselves. Animal poaching is illegal in most areas, but that does not mean that poaching was eliminated, people still do it and more and more elephants die every year. If poaching does not stop, this species elephant species of elephants will. [[image:african_ele[hants width="300" height="189"]] media type="youtube" key="qoOeoZ-5Xtw" height="218" width="294"



African elephants inhabit about only about 1/3 of Africa. They can live in semi-desert conditions or in the forest. They live out in the wild unprotected, and unaware what is going to happen to them. These elephants live in a variety of places. But sadly a lot of elephants are captive. People take them to show in zoo's, safari parks, and circuses. Elephants are abused and can even be killed when they perform in the circus. They do not get the certain care they need so we need to put an end to this madness. Many people don't know even understand how endangered these beautiful creatures are. We need to spread the word and let everyone be aware of what is happening to these elephants.

100 African Elephants are killed everyday, or 36,500 every year. If we don't act fast African elephants will be gone by 2020. At the rate of the killings for their tusks they could be gone sooner. We cannot let this go any further or else our entire food chain will be destroyed. We need elephants even though you don't think they're that important to our life. A day from now hundreds of elephant could be killed. or even the next day, or even in the next month. The rates for extinction are dropping every second you waste.

As you have learned, the African Elephant's population decreases by hundreds everyday. Every day that goes by could be a chance to save the species. Although 2020 seems far away and appears to be a lot of time to save a species, but it truly is not. 100 elephants are killed everyday from poaching alone. Poaching can be stopped, but it takes more than one person to put an end to this tragic cause. These beloved creatures can be saved, but not without the union of many people who are willing to take a stand against it. Elephants are not only important to our ecosystem, but the global food chain as well. Without them, our world will be drastically different and we need to come together to stop it. Together, we can cease this and finally put an end to endangering animals once and for all.
