Do people use elephant skin for clothing?

Answer 1

Elephant skins are used for clothing (especially shoes and boots). Their skin is even used to make leather for furniture. All the same it is wrong and usually illegal in most cases to have elephant skins, probably due to the fact that they are becoming endangered.

Answer 2

In some countries elephant skin is used for:

Umbrellas

Bags

Furniture

Their tusks are very valuable as they are made of ivory, one of the world's most valuable materials. This is the biggest problem concerning their endangerment. New ivory is now banned in some countries (ivory is ok if you already have it), but it is/was used for:

Jewelry

Furniture

Elephant dung is not valuable, but it is useful and enviroment-friendly. It must be boiled, cleaned and baked (sometimes processed, chemicalised or fermented) before it can be made into the following:

Paper

Bags

Blankets

Without the process above, elephant dung can be used for:

Compost

Fertilizer

Elephants are endangered. They are constantly being hunted down-for their skin, their tusks, even simply because some are angry because they are damaging the locals' land. Unless humans clear up their act, these beautiful creatures will become extinct. Save the elephants!
