Elephants are becoming extinct because of poaching and deforestation and loss of habitat. We need to help raise money for organizations that help the elephants and don't raise money for the organizations that exploits and abuses them and uses it for entertainment and profit.

PROBLEM

  • Elephants are forced to try access resources.
  • This is a problem because forest provide critical resources and they can be seen more if the forest start to get cut down and have less fruit for them to eat.

WHAT CAUSES THE PROBLEM

  • They are becoming endangered because they were in war and peace and beast of burden
  • Demand for ivory, combined with habitat loss from human settlement and explosions.

FUTURE EFFECTS

  • Overall extinction of species
  • If the animal dies off so will the habitat that we will need. These animals are important to us.

HOW IT WILL EFFECT THE WORLD

  • It will effect us because the elephants will become extinct and then that will fall into deforestation and then there will be less oxygen and we will start to die off.

SOLVING PROBLEM

  • We are raising funds for wildlife so they do not become extinct and wildlife conservation and organizations are helping like the world wildlife fund.
  • Reducing the demands on ivory has help drive down elephants poaching.
  • The run patrols and push governments to enforce anti poaching laws.

WHAT WE CAN DO TO HELP

  • We can help by moving the elephants to a different place away from the predators.
  • Help make different shelter and have more food and water for them to survive.
  • We can study their " keystone" role in the environment and interrelationships with plants and other animals.
  • Don't support organizations that exploit or abuse elephants and other animals for entertainment and profit.
  • Support heathy, alternative, sustainable livelihoods for people who have traditionally relied on elephants.

All though there are many elephants today they are still becoming extinct because of the loss of their habitat and food. Elephants are being taken out of the circus because they are diying from transportation. The circus elephants are trained with violence and only performed out of fear and extreme animal abuse.
Example:they are being beaten with baseball bats.
