ENDANGERED SPECIES: AFRICAN ELEPHANT BLOG ENTRY
African Elephants are on
their way to becoming extinct and a lot more needs to be done to make sure this
does not happen. In January of 2012 11 African Elephants were killed by guns in just one day. 
My goal for this blog is to create awareness about the thousands of African Elephants that are
killed each year for their ivory tusks  that make this creature so beautiful. It is very selfish of these
horrible  people to kill such an amazing animal for something as small as the tusks on
their heads, to make profit. African Elephant's are on their way to becoming
extinct and something needs to be done immediately. It is unbelievable that up
to 8,000 African Elephants are killed each year for the ivory tusks alone. The
ivory from an Elephant is very beautiful and should be left on the animal for
everyone to see for the rest of eternity and should not be used as a decorative
piece on someone’s table or made into jewelry and worn on people.

Wow, 8,000 elephants are lost to poaching each year! That is so sad. What can tourists do to help stop this terrible injustice? Elephants are such noble creatures. Although they are huge in size, I have seen a baby elephant that was just 10 hours old, playing under the feet of the giants surrounding him and not once did these female elephants even knock him down. They move with such grace and dignity. I love elephants and hope that we can effect a change in just a few hearts to change the tide . . . we can save these beautiful creatures.

Just like the noble elephant the majestic cheetah is also on the verge of extinction in Africa do to poaching. It is important that both these beautiful species survive these coming years for all to witness and enjoy. Both animals are very unique and deserve our protection, luckily there are organization like the African Wildlife Foundation that are taking action and doing what they can to share these majestic animals plight with the world and to stop poaching.
