The elephant's niche in the world is that of a "keystone species".

This means that it plays a singular, critical role in its ecosystem that is fundamental to the survival of the ecosystem and its inhabitants, whichout which the environment would be drastically altered or no longer exist.

With elephants, though, it goes even deeper, because their absence from lands once inhabited has shown to effect weather patterns for a variety of reasons, from drought to massive wildfires.

The niche role that elephants play in our world is so significant, that it is possible even humans could go extinct if elephants were to become extinct.
