ELEPHANT
 
 For centuries, people lived with the Asian elephant in South Asia. Unfortunately, only the 5 % of their natural habitat is in optimal conditions to live. Since 1990, its population has declined by 97%. todal trere are only between 28,000 and 42,000 Asian elephants.

 These animals are docile, intelligent and obedient. Therefore, they have been used as pack animals by humans for millennia and circus animals, even war.

The elephant homes began to dissapear when the population grew and people started to destroy their habitat, they are domesticated to serve as a work tool and sport entertainment too.Worse was to come elephant are hunted for their ivory.

There are many people who think that life without them wouldn´t be the same. Organizations like EleAid have several initiatives to protect Asian elephants, people can support individual initiatives or donate money to the fundation. In some cases, you can sponsor an elephant in a santuary or reserve or simple sign a petition to avoid the ivory smuggling.

If people who is trying to save the elephant can change the people´s mind, we will avoid the extinction of a beautiful specie.
