Elephants
The African Elephant is the largest walking animal on Earth. Their herds travel through 37 different countries in Africa. Peoply maily recognize them by their tusks which are used to handling objects. Their ears allow them to radiate excess heat! The African Elephants are related to the Savanna elephant and the Forest elephant. African elephants help maintain suitable habitats for other species, they play a huge role in shaping their habitat because they impact on factors from fresh water to forest cover. Their populations were reduced extreamly due to being killed and herds were lost. The demand for ivory has led to paching. Southern and eastern Africa were showing signs of recovery, but now will be at risk once again due to the sudden surge in poaching. WWF is protecting and managing habitats to reduce the illegal killing. WWF also helps governments produce and adopt elephant conservation strategies. They helped train park gaurds and villagers in elephant conservation and management.
To learn more here is a the website I used to get all my info:
I chose elephants becuase they are my all time favorite animal and I have already participated in the helps of saving elephants. Ivoryella makes shirts that are 1. really cute and 2. save the elephants. they are teamed up with savetheelephants.org and each purchace donates 10 % of the profits to that organiztion. There are so many other animals in world to save and I'm sure they all have organizations like this one, but since elephants have my heart I have no other choice than to help them! Below are the links to both websites!!
