How do African elephants affect their environment?

An elephant's habitat is dependent on them as are the lives of every creature in their territory. In fact, elephants have been proven to have a dramatic impact on the weather.

Scientific studies have shown that, in places where elephants have been eliminated, drought has ensued and the land has turned to desert. Other animal populations have disappeared. And uncontrolled fires ravage the land.

Dung beetles, an important part of the food chain, subsist solely on elephant excrement. Dung beetles, on the other hand, are critical to the diet of many other creatures. Other large herbivores rely on the elephant to find water because elephants are able to not only smell and locate underground water, but they can smell water over large distances. They dig down into the earth and free water, so that when they're done, other animals can move in and drink.

Elephants keep grasses, bushes, and trees pruned and trimmed resulting in healthier vegetation. This keeps dense vegetation from soaking up all the water thus making it available to other plants and animals. Because elephants are nomadic and migrate routinely through the year, the land regenerates in their absence.

Seeds and other plant reproductive parts are passed into the land from elephant manure as another way of replenishing the earth.
