    i had the opportunity to hear jane goodall speak on conservation once. Her message was that to save a species you need to save the people near them first. Programs that reward people for a healthy elephant population will succeed -- for example, if you pay more rangers, give a community cash per healthy elephant, conservation could win. In places where a daily salary can be as low as 0.34 USD per day, small donations from individual conservation minded people around the globe could fund desperately needed human projects in areas where the locals receive financial benefit from supporting conservation efforts. I would donate to this program if it exists.

      When a resource because so rare and valuable, it become an icon of wealth and social standing.

      😟us being just like humans that love to eat meat And that's why even 10000 years ago since they hunted the elephants that are called the wooly Mammoths with longer Fur that we is that we use their tusk And elephants are the next on the menu for song these And elephants are Already are hunted for the tough just like the wooly Mammoths the elephants that people hunted And I think that history History of the elephant will emanate his right about how elephants will go extinct By the humans that will make that happen With more hunting if they really succeeded Is growing in population of that country content and that's why elephants population are going down and that's the same repeated history of the elephants called the wooly mammoths knowing how sad that is How Is the elephant called woolly mammoths that went extinct And Murphy and the humans have did 10000 years Ago And this happens today with elephants like our human ancestors have done and these humans that Have still doing the same repeated history over again And this is real And we try to stop them but I think they won't just like in ancient history of our human ancestors have done it Is Is elephant ancestors Have been extinct and you know how sad that is same could be sad for the elephants That couldn't go extinct already And this it will be the same path filled it's the same path the elephants will be in the Exact same way the Wooly mammoth that are the elephants that will be on the same path And they will disappear from the face of the Earth They come in just legends Of how they became extinct how not able to stop The humans and the extinction of the elephants It's like with our human ancestors that have done this to the wooly mammoths the elephants Because what will we do with other creatures are going extinct already And if that doesn't shark you how the elephants will go extinct just like the wooly mammoths Are the elephants That wint estate report and the exact same extension could be said for the elephant when you think about it that's pretty scary to think about that And you know what this is what scares me becauyeah scares me because of how that will be like how elephants will be extinct at that same situation and how we are gonna look only at elephants in the museum Is in the year 2040 I'm sorry people that's where the extinction Of the elephants will happen for Is shorter Is year of that happening With weeks months of that happening already I think this is a wake up call to these people that we need to protect these elephants But you know People that are poachers that are doing it they don't care And even the people that are doing it they don't care either That's like the human ancestors that don't care before after hunting the elephants called wooly mammoths they will do the exact same thing And that will Be the real same thing we're going on this on this path see in this history this history being repeated again I mean you will only be seeing elephants in textbooks And other history stuff of how they once existed. Would you agree people I mean that should make you sad to realize this.

    @whammycheng3758 9 років тому +2

    In the past, people have used elephants for war; I often wonder if that has anything to do with the number of elephants of today. I am actually curious if an elephants meat is capable of feeding people. Not only do humans kill elephants, for just their tusks, but we leave their meat behind without either using the meat to feed starving children, making us worse than lions, or giving it a proper burial. Humans can be considered the most savage creatures on earth since we invented war.

  • @CurtisDensmore1
    @CurtisDensmore1 9 років тому +4

    If ivory farming were legal, where you could cut tusks off of animals without hurting them and sell it, the price might drop to the point where it's not worth the risk to poach. It's distasteful, but it might work.

    • @ChrissonatorOFL
      @ChrissonatorOFL 9 років тому +1

      Curtis Densmore The only individual that needs the tusks is the elephant. So it should be illegal to dismember and/or kill them.

    • @CurtisDensmore1
      @CurtisDensmore1 9 років тому +1

      Yeah, I know that. I think buying and selling ivory is disgusting. Wouldn't it be nice if everyone felt that way and obeyed the law? I'm not here to argue, I'm offering a pragmatic solution. It IS illegal to hunt them, yet the population keeps dwindling. I'm saying that if we relieve some pressure on the market, things will calm down. Much like trying to enforce drug laws, the fact that it is illegal raises the price and thus the temptation to do it. So, bringing the price down might help. It might not, I don't know. What I do know is: 1) Elephants are headed for extinction while the ivory trade remains illegal, 2) The high price motivates people to poach when they might otherwise avoid it, 3) Increasing supply brings prices down, and 4) Farming animals gives them more inherent value, so people might want to keep them alive. You have to change something if you want different results. Good luck trying to convince people who buy and sell ivory to feel sorry for elephants.

    Stop the use of HELICOPTERS in environmentally sensitive areas. That's how you stop the poachers. You need a license to fly one, right? No license if you cannot explain your flight time in these areas. It only takes a 15 minute flight to get in and kill a large animal, take its horn or tusks, and fly away. The penalty for poaching should be removal of all the poacher's teeth with no anesthesia, then they get to sit on death row caught in a wire snare and wonder whether or not today is the day they will be shot to death in front of their loved ones. Poverty is NO excuse. There are plenty of other ways to support a family.
    I get physically ill when I see a piano with ivory keys. There are so many other materials they can use to make those keys - glass, for instance. Being caught purchasing, trafficking and handling ivory should also be severely punishable. No slap on the wrist, if the purchaser is a rich person, hit them where it hurts financially, emotionally AND physically. Shame on humans. This make me very uncomfortable being part of the same race that could do this.

    Unfortunately, were on the fast track to lose elephants completely within less than 10 years time. It's already too late, were too late to save white Rhinos and those are hanging on by a mere thread, 3 left to be precise.
    The elephants are next, with the rate of poaching, and how fast they are killed id say we're going to lose them a lot faster than 10 years time.

      The definition of the word poaching is to kill animals illegally. Poaching is illegal, yet people still do it :(

    not a real solution. raise the punishment for killing them, decrease the punishment for taking their tusks. poachers will start tranquilizing instead of killing

      StevenGaspard The only individual that needs the tusks is the elephant. So it should be illegal to dismember and/or kill them.

      it is. but making a good illegal doesnt stop the supply and semand of goods

    • @ChrissonatorOFL
      @ChrissonatorOFL 9 років тому +2

      StevenGaspard No, but it imposes punishments on them.

    • @animallover5626
      @animallover5626 9 років тому

      I agree with raising the punishment. Im order to make it not worth doing there needs to be high risk and they need to have less demand (worth less or less consumers.)

    • @animallover5626
      @animallover5626 9 років тому

      Decreasing the punishment for removing tusks without killing elephants could help. Sure they shouldn't be taking them at all but you're right that's better than them being killed. It's a step in the right direction at least.

    does Philippines have elephants?

    • @gerarldlee
      @gerarldlee 8 років тому

      No! Philippines do have elephants but its insignificant compared to others but from what I've read, the role Philippines play is that they do import (and smuggle) large ivory figurines carved with religious icons.

    I feel so ashamed being a Filipino. No one needs it. I am so proud of being agnostic atheist because I do not feel any false need to create a false god from a dead animal.

    The elephants lost their lives just like their ancestors existed the Mammoths and the Wooly mammoths And all the other elephant ancestors there will be repeated history Posters have done since humans have done it before with arrows and spears Humans are doing it with guns And needs raid is taken over just like what happens years ago where humans have meat trade after hunting elephants And we'll be mammoths the elephants that we hunted And this is why you see them in the museum and same could be said for the elephants if that happened If we don't do something so would you agree people.😔

    If ivory is so valuable someone should just farm it and all that extra supply will eventually lower the price enough for poaching to not be worth it. Problem solved.
