Guest guest Posted September 9, 2008 Report Share Posted September 9, 2008 Link: http://animals.nationalgeographic.com/animals/article/elephants-index.html Elephants at Risk Elephants, largest of all land animals, are among the most recognizable and beloved creatures on Earth. Their ancestors once roamed most of the planet, but wild populations are now confined to decreasing swaths of land in Africa and Asia. Hunted mercilessly for their prized ivory tusks, they are under threat in most of their range from poaching, habitat loss, and human encroachment and are listed as threatened by the IUCN. National Geographic has been promoting elephant research and conservation since 1922. You can make an impact by offering your support to the National Geographic Society. You can also contact your local government representative and your country's CITES representative to express your support of the international ban on the trade of ivory. -- United against elephant polo http://www.stopelephantpolo.com http://www.freewebs.com/azamsiddiqui Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
