Best Answer

African Elephants are classed as "vulnerable", not "endangered". (The Asian Elephant is endangered.)

In the 1900s elephants became popular game and were poached for their ivory tusks. By 1950 the population was cut in half. They were making a good recovery but China has recently legalized ivory so the poaching has become a major issue again. Also, farmers are developing the land elephant have relied on for generations and are killing them when the return to eat the crops they find so conveniently located in the path to their old food source.
