RE: THE BEST PHOTO OF THE WEEK - 46 - Gli elefanti orfani di Nairobi. / Nairobi's Orphaned Elephants.. [ITA/ENG]

in Italy2 years ago

The largest land animal is experiencing dangerous time, as they are in the extension list. Long ago, these animals roamed the land just like fish do in the sea. They traveled along routes which their ancestors had traveled and had recorded in their memory. Currently, the human being has destroyed all that, they have marginalized them in increasingly smaller territories, they hunt them in order to keep their tusks or their meat; it also has to deal with the destruction of its environment. To take a broader view, in the 1980s the elephant population was 1.3 million, today there are at most 500 thousand left. It is good to know that there are people who take care of these animals and give shelter to those who are orphaned. Thank you for sharing these nice photos.

It's true, unfortunately over the years they have been decimated both by poaching and because there are fewer and fewer forests due to human action.
