Thanks to mining and widespread poaching, elephants could vanish from one of Africa's key reserves within 6 years.
Since the 1970s, Tanzania's Selous national park has lost an average of almost 2,500 elephants a year. Only 15,000 elephants remain - a decrease of 90% over the past 40 years.
Celebrities have taken up the cause of protecting elephants. Elizabeth Hurley recently traveled to Nairobi to witness local officials burn 105 tons of ivory that had been taken by poachers.
It's not too late to help. For more than 50 years, the WWF has worked to save the marvelous array of life on our planet by applying the best science available and working closely with local communities.
