Hundreds of thousands of elephants have been killed over the past century by trophy hunters and ivory poachers. Approximately 100 years there were 5 to 10 million elephants that roamed the Savannah of Africa and today there are only a few thousand of these magnificent species left in the jungles of Africa.
