Afican Elephant.
The African ElephantThe African elephant is the largest land mammal, and is now in the list of endangered species These elephants are endangered mostly due to
-loss of habitat
-poached for their meat and ivory tusks
Elephants are important as in tropical forests, elephants create clearings and gaps in the canopy that encourage tree regeneration.
In the savannas, they can reduce bush cover to create an environment favorable to a mix of browsing and grazing animals.
Many plant species also rely on elephants as they have seeds that are dependent on passing through an elephant's digestive tract before they can germinate
How to do your part to save them?-During the Hols, visit natural reserves or even the Zoo or Bird park to learn more about animals
-Reading about endangered animals in books at the library
-Maybe even start a blog( like me! =) ) to share the knowledge with others!
