A FUTURE FOR ELEPHANTS?

The World Wildlife Funds is an international organization for the protection of animals and conservation of life in the natural world. Since 1961, the World Wildlife Funds has saved lots of animals and birds from extinction. It has given more than 40 billion dollars to conservation projects around the world. It has created or supported 260 National Parks on five continents. But there is still much more work to do.

Elephants, for example. Do they have a future? Nobody knows how many elephants there are in Africa or Asia today. For a long time dishonest people have been killing elephants illegally, especially for their ivory. Those animals may soon be in danger of extinction. Just think: the zoo may be the only place where it will be possible to see an elephant!
