Humans have a huge impact on elephants survival. African elephants are hunted by pouchers for their ivory tusks which are sold on the black market and used in various ways. The impact of habitat destruction is just as important if not more important than pouching. It can reduce the amount of food sources, water sources, and breeding sites available to the elephants and reduce their survival rates.
