Here is an excerpt:

African Elephant
Main articles: African Bush Elephant and African Forest Elephant
The mammals of the genus Loxodonta, often known collectively as African elephants, are found in several regions throughout the continent, after which they are named. In recent years, Loxodonta has received the attention of the world because of its dwindling numbers. Today there are approximately 600,000 African elephants in the world. Some believe this represents a stable population and that measures to protect them are unnecessary. Others argue that while elephants are locally overabundant in certain areas, it is impossible to ignore the fact that the overall population has dropped by a staggering amount. As recently as 1979 there were an estimated 1.3 million African elephants. One decade later, only around 600,000 remain. This decline is attributed primarily to poaching, or illegal hunting, and habitat loss.

Answer 2

Until recently, scientists thought that there were two species of elephants in the world: the African and the Asian elephant. Recently,
studies showed there were two types of African elephant. Our Elephants, Dolly and Anna, are African savannah elephants. The other type
of African Elephant is known as the forest elephant. Today, scientists estimate that there are 150,000 forest elephants and 350,000 savannah
elephants. Twenty years ago, there were about 1,500,000


the estimated total number of African elephants (both forest and savannah) alive today are 500,000
