There are laws so that people don't kill them for their ivory.

The law is specifically called the African elephant Conservation Act of 1986 there is also national parks and wildlife centres keeping these beautiful animals alive and well

Apparently you don't fact check the information you pay for with all your donations. There is legal elephant hunting in 10 African countries right now(8-2010), only Kenya stopped game hunting and is now trying to import game to replace those killed by starving natives and Somali war lords in the north. Elephant hunting was, is and will be legal as long there are people willing to pay to hunt them. Hunters bring far more money to the local economies than eco-tourism and peace corp, Gov't's and locals understand this. The more reliable hunting dollar beats the photo op celebrity adoption dollar that may not even come back. Sorry to burst your bubble
