More Than Half of African Elephants are Dead as Numbers Drop to Alarming Levels | Firstpost Africa

African elephants, once abundant across the continent, are facing a rapid decline in population, with some areas seeing a drop of up to 90% in the last 50 years. A recent study spanning 475 sites in 37 countries reveals that poaching for ivory and habitat loss due to agricultural expansion are the primary drivers of this crisis. While northern and eastern Africa have suffered the most, southern Africa offers a glimmer of hope with countries like Botswana, Zimbabwe, and Namibia seeing growth in elephant populations due to successful conservation efforts. Despite these successes, the overall elephant population is still at risk, making it clear that urgent action is needed to protect these iconic animals and the ecosystems they support.
