Proof that the tragedy of elephant poaching is out of control

A tragic reality proven: elephant poaching in Africa is out of control and these beautiful beasts are at real threat of extinction.

If we weren’t aware already, a new study has hammered it home: elephant poaching is getting wildly out of control. Tens of thousands of these beautiful creatures – Earth’s biggest land mammals – are killed every year for their ivory. And if we don’t act soon then whole populations might be wiped out.
