Humans have a huge impact on elephants survival. African elephants are hunted by pouchers for their ivory tusks which are sold on the black market and used in various ways. The impact of habitat destruction is just as important if not more important than pouching. It can reduce the amount of food sources, water sources, and breeding sites available to the elephants and reduce their survival rates.

∙ 13y agoNations around the world have put a ban on hunting elephants for their tusks. Also, the sale of Ivory (elephant tusk) is a crime in most nations. Since ivory is the main reason why elephants were killed in thousands, the ban on ivory sale has actually helped reduce the number of poaching incidents in Africa and India. Still there is illegal sale of ivory in the black market and law enforcement authorities around the globe are trying to catch such criminals to help the elephants.
