It's terrible to hear that their populations declined so much in only 12 years. If these trends persist, elephants will become critically endangered.

If we want long-lasting and sustainable results, we need to help the local communities and get them involved.

Well said! We need to change our mindset and make solving these issues a priority.

#39canimals "If everyone agrees with not harming other species or destroying their habitat, and everyone develops a thought of protecting the natural environment and stop polluting, there will not be any problems appearing in the future that innocent animal species need to face"

This is incredibly inhumane and irresponsible.

"Since humans still breed dogs uncontrollably and are occasionally irresponsible owners, they continue to be the perpetrators of the dog overpopulation problem that has caused '8.3 million animals [to be] sheltered and 5.7 million euthanized' in the US every year."

Elephants "are essential to our world because once they become endangered and, perhaps, extinct, this sets off a chain of events that can cause another species to go extinct and some plants will become invasive (Owen-Smith)." #39canimals https://t.co/1inOIsPqqj

It's terrible that all animals are endangered by problems caused by human activities.

"Forest elephants are listed as critically endangered species under IUCN, their main threat of survival is human-elephant conflict which is the competition of elephants and humans for the savaging of food, and habitat proprietary entitlement..."#39canimals

Habitat loss is so devastating. We need to remember that we share this planet with others.

"Due to the degradation of their habitat and extirpation by humans, Wolves currently inhabit only about two-thirds of their niche worldwide, and about 10 percent of the original range in the United States" #39canimals

Of the problems chimpanzees face, habitat loss degradation poses the greatest threat.

Kuhl cites Langergraber's 2012 paper stating that, with these statistics, there's a projected 99 percent decline in their populations over the next three generations (9).
