@Joe__Bassey Now it is mostly sent to Asia, specifically China and Japan for traditional medicine

[Typical African @Joe__Bassey]

European demand for ivory played a major role in the decline of African elephant populations, particularly in the 19th and early 20th centuries.

Ivory was highly valued in Europe and North America for piano keys, billiard balls, combs, jewellery and decorative items, creating a lucrative export market that encouraged large-scale hunting across Africa.

European traders and colonial networks expanded access to African ivory markets, while firearms and commercial hunting made it easier to kill elephants in large numbers.

The same colonial hunting economy also pressured other African wildlife, including rhinoceroses, whose horns became valuable commodities.

Although African communities had used ivory and other animal products for centuries, enormous overseas commercial demand greatly intensified extraction and contributed to severe wildlife declines across parts of the continent.

Ronaldo, Chitwan’s famed wild elephant, found dead

The bull was a key breeding partner for captive female elephants, with 38 calves attributed to him.

Elephants love a good mud bath; it's basically their version of skincare, cooling them down and protecting their skin from the sun and bugs. But this elephant cow took it a step further and got stuck in a muddy dam mid-spa session.

The Mt. Kenya National Park KWS/SWT Vet Unit rolled in, pulled her out and sent her right back to her herd.

Another day, another rescue.

After travelling 4-5 days, Durga reaches Madurai, Tamil Nadu—she’s led into the temple premises by a rope threaded through a hole in her left ear.

A life in confinement. She doesn’t know what lies ahead, but here’s praying the little one’s spared the pain we have seen other Assam elephants go through.

@assamforest, you could have done better.
