One thing that is being done to stop Asian elephants from becoming extinct is to enforce stricter laws on poaching. Protecting their habitat is also a way to help them.
Because they are being poached/hunted for their Ivory.
Extinct means they don't exist anymore. Some elephants may be endangered, but not yet extinct. Elephants are being Endangered by hunting for their skin or body parts.
Yes, they are going to be extinct because they are threated
Asian elephants are smaller because their jungle habitat makes being large a disadvantage.
yes I'm pretty sure that their in danger of becoming extinct :( but there are a few ways we could help them survive and not becoming extinct
Yes, they are becoming extinctIn 1989, the UN created a plan to help save elephants from becoming extinct. The plan made it illegal to trade ivory from elephant tusks. At the peak of trading, more than 70,000 elephants were being killed every year for their tusks. But after the plan was created, no one could kill elephants or sell their tusks.But now, elephants might be in danger once again. Starting in May 2004, it will be legal to sell ivory. There will be strict controls to monitor where the ivory comes from, but environmental groups worry that increased demand for ivory could mean more elephants will be killed. The current African elephant population is thought to be about 450,000.The governments of several African countries want to begin the legal ivory trade again to help their countries' economies. Ivory is very valuable in trade. But the new ivory trade could be very dangerous for elephants. Their tusks are made of ivory. Hunters sometimes kill elephants just to take their tusks. The wildlife groups will have to work extra hard to make sure elephants don't become extinct.
They are being hunted and their habitats are being destroyed.
Governments world over have put a strict ban on poaching elephants. Their habitats are being conserved and their numbers are strictly monitored.
it has been made illegal to kill the elephants but some people still do it any way.
they are being hunted for their skin
* By stopping poaching (Killing of elephants) * By stopping habitat loss for elephants. We have encroached major areas of forests * By protecting them * By creating awareness among people about how great an elephant is
The Asian Wild Horse, also known as the Przewalski Horse, is endangered, but NOT extinct. It lives in Mongolian Mountains. It was being hunted for it's coat but is now protected by law.
