Is the elephant habitat in any danger?

Yes, elephant habitat is declining rapidly. The fastest deforestation rate in the world is in the rainforests of Asia, where forests are cleared to make way for massive palm oil plantations. That is one of the three habitats of elephants.

The third habitat of elephants is the African rainforest, but that is threatened by deforestation, too.
