WHY ELEPHANT CONSERVATION MATTERS

An estimated 96 African elephants are killed each day by poachers seeking ivory for illegal trade. The biggest threat to the survival of elephants in Asia is habitat loss. The number of Asian elephants has dwindled by at least 50 percent while the species’ available habitat has plummeted by 85 percent.
