Researchers have quantified the
contribution of poaching to elephant decline for the first time, and
they found that illegal killing is enough to endanger the survival of
the species. Across the African continent, poachers have driven an
average reduction of 2 to 3 percent a year between 2010 and 2012 -
that’s 100,000 elephants in just three years!
