    The number of elephants and rhinos are declining in nations where animals are housed on national parks and rising in nations where the animals are privately owned and farmed by individuals due to property rights and private goods. Most nations where elephants and rhinos are housed on national parks a common ownership has been established by the government and the responsibility for these animals is not individualized by any one person, thus, the proper care that is needed is not delivered. However, in nations where individuals are allowed to own elephants and rhinos, responsibility is clear and maintenance is adhered. Nations were there are individual owners the stakes for healthy animals are much higher and necessary.…

    “Giraffes now rarer than elephants”, by Seth Borenstein is an article which focuses on giraffes and how they are becoming extinct. The eminent giraffes aren’t so famous anymore. Giraffes are decreasing in number and are at risk of becoming extinct. Most often animals slowly begin to become extinct but with the giraffe it’s a different story. In the last thirty years the giraffe population has dropped by nearly forty percent. Nobody thinks the giraffes are becoming extinct because we see them at places like the zoo. This is called a silent extinction. Its when an animal is becoming extinct but nobody seems to notice. Scientists say the reason these animals are becoming extinct is because of habitat loss from where…

    Africa is in the middle of a growing epidemic elephant slaughter. This growing slaughter began in 2002 and is currently happening till this day. Conservation groups share that elephant poachers are killing tens of thousands of elephants every year, which is more than at any time since the “Ivory Wars” has started. Recently in Garamba National park, Paul Onyango says that he has never seen anything like this before. 22 elephants were killed with a single shot to the head, including several young elephants as well. The reasons for the slaughtering is that poachers sell the animals tusks which have ivory in them.…

    The statistics are that in Kenya the elephant population has decimated from 167,000 to 27,000 in 2013. Tower has learned that some experts have predicted that the elephants will be extinct in Kenya within a decade. The other statistics that is involved is that in both Tanzania and Zimbabwe there were 300 elephants that were poisoned in a single massacre. The U.S Fish and Wildlife Service, in April 2014, suspended the import of elephant trophies from both nations. One of the most important source that Tower uses is Satsumo. Satsumo is the Department of Wildlife and National Parks employee who tagged along with him and the Waldrips on the safari ride. He believes that Botswana’s hunting ban may ultimately turn out badly for the elephants. His reason is that “there will be more poachers and more elephants will get out of the reserve”. He also believes they will get to people’s crop fields. One possible solution to the survival of the elephants is that may involve people paying lots of money to shoot them for fun. All of this is going to turn out bad for the…

    Elephants play a very important role in maintaining sustainable habitats for many other species (African elephant, 2). There are certain elephant-dependent tree species in Congo, Africa that have declined in growth population after more than 98% of the forest elephants have been killed by poachers. Forest elephants help these trees by spreading their seeds when they roam, and germinate them with their stomach acids. This dual relationship allows fruit trees with no other dispersal partners to ensure reproduction (Platt, 2). Depletion in these trees will have long-term ecological effects as the loss of one species directly impacts the whole balance of the food web (Bove, 2). If elephants became extinct, the elephant-dependent tree species would no longer continue to grow, causing the herbivores that rely on these trees for food to essentially starve as well as the carnivores that eat these…

    Throughout the African Republic, to the edge of Congo, there use to roam some 300,000 elephants in the 1970's. Today, thanks to the efforts of humans, less than 10,000 elephants now roam this area. In a smaller perspective, in 1985, before poaching laws were put into legislature, 4,308 live elephants were counted in Zakouma, Chad, compared to the 7,861 found dead. In 2006, conversationist J. Michael Fay counted 3,020 elephants in Zakouma, nearly 900 less than the previous year (Fay, Michael J. ). Shockingly, Zakouma is a refuge site for wildlife under armed protection and still, these large decreases in wildlife are being…

    There are a few main reasons on why elephants are endangered. These reasons being the illegal killing of them, the destruction of their habitat, and unsustainable practices by humans. Many elephants are illegally killed for their ivory tusks. Because these tusks are sold for a great fortune, the killing of African elephants have become tantalizing and tempting. Once they’re killed and their tusks have been detached, their bodies are left there without a purpose to slowly decay. Unfortunately, you can imagine how upsetting such a sight could be to those who are working to prevent such happenings from occurring to cease the extinction of this species. Another factor that plays into why African Elephants are listed as endangered species is that…

    Asian Elephant

    • 1169 Words
    • 5 Pages

    Asian elephants live in South and South East Asia in rainforest and woodland areas and migrate to avoid the monsoon season. Asian elephants are herbivores and can consume 330 pounds of food per day and drink up to 30 gallons of water. Asian elephants are social creatures and are born into female herds where the eldest female also known as the matriarch is the leader. Female elephants in the herd share the responsibility of raising the calves and are known to adopt orphan elephants if the mother dies. While female elephants stay with the herd from the time they are born until they die, the males leave when they reach adolescence at approximately age sixteen. The adolescent Asian elephants leave the herd to join male herds of the same age and only return to the female herd during mating season and at times during feeding. At the age of ten the female elephant is able to give birth to a single calf at a time and the gestation period is approximately twenty-two months. Asian elephants live up to seventy years, measure up to ten feet, and weigh up to five and a half tons. As the biggest mammals on land predatory animals minimally threaten the elephants, yet the Asian elephant is an endangered species. The World Wildlife Fund (WWF), a leading conservation organization estimates the Asian elephant population to be between “35,000 to 50,000” left in the wild. Asian Elephants are an endangered species because of poaching, habitat destruction, and elephant-human conflict.…
