Loss 42 x 55
Where does a herd of elephants go when their feeding grounds are gone or the water they drink has dried up? Overpopulation of humans continues to push into the lands that elephants once roamed, converting the rangelands to farming communities. Loss of habitat is but one issue that these mighty animals have to figure out. The elephant population is now estimated to be approximately 415,000 compared to 10 million, 100 years ago. During this same time frame, the human population has quadrupled from 2 billion to 8 billion people. I’m not a scientist, but it appears that man is killing our planet.
