To destroy any part of this just for ivory, or to develop more ground for humans, just sickens me. As a race, we consume everything, with no thought.

The Knysna elephants were a rare breed of forest pachyderm, threatened by poaching and deforestation until only one survived. They tried to reintroduce elephants to the region but with minimal success.
