Their population numbers are slightly up. They've also been taken off the "endangered" list and placed on the "threatened" list. And, ironically enough, "threatened" is exactly what they've become. Animal dealers separated thirty baby elephants from their herd in August and they're now slated for sale. South Africa is divided as the experts square off against those who would profit from the elephants' new "threatened" status. The ensuing court case could set precedence for how the elephant population will fare in the future. In the meantime, the thirty babies are being "tamed" and groomed for travel overseas.

Home About Us Appeals News ... Link to Us BRITISH ENDANGERED SPECIES What is an endangered species? If a species is said to be endangered, then it is in danger of going extinct if the reasons that are causing its numbers to decline are not identified and the problems put right. Vulnerable species are those who are declining in numbers quite rapidly. Rare species are those which are only found in a particular area, or in a habitat that is found only in a few places in Britain. The term 'threatened' is used to describe species that are included in all these categories. This term is frequently used when talking about British species. Why do species become threatened? Different species are suited to different habitats or types of vegetation, they live where they find the other species that they feed on and where they are able to build their homes, and where they are able to protect their young. The numbers of many animal and plant species in Britain have declined in recent years due to the loss of the habitat in which they are usually found. Different habitat types are lost when we build on them to accommodate an increasing human population. Changes in the climate also affect some habitat types. What can be done?

Home About Us Appeals News ... Link to Us Making a Killing - South African Style CFTWI has worked with the Sunday Express to publicise the latest development in South Africa’s sordid Canned Hunting industry. © Ian Michler A white lion cub, destined for a canned hunt Thanks to information and contacts supplied by CFTWI, an undercover reporter from the newspaper was able to pose as a rich British hunter. Paul McMullan attended South Africa’s second ever predator auction in Reitz, about 250km outside of Johannesburg. Canned hunting in South Africa gained worldwide notoriety in 1997 after the Cook Report first exposed the ruthless and downright illegal methods hunting operators use to both procure and kill wild animals. The recent auction however, marks a new low in the country’s canned hunting industry, which allows captive wild animals to be shot by trophy hunters. Until now, the industry had not openly courted potential new breeders and hunters in this blatant manner. During the auction, held on 25th January 2003, lions, pregnant lioness and young cubs came under the hammer, available to anyone with the right amount of cash. There were no requirements to show how or where the animals would be cared for. The majority of lions for sale at the auction are destined to be shot by wealthy trophy hunters in canned hunts. © Ian Michler Cubs facing an uncertain future © Ian Michler Lions involved with canned hunts have no chance of escape There are an estimated 45-50 large cat breeders in the South Africa, who do nothing for the conservation threatened and endangered species. To them the animals’ only value is financial. Mostly European and American hunters will pay around £20,000 to shoot an adult lion. However, we are told that not too long ago a rare, captive bred white lion was shot for a fee of more than £100,000. In a fenced enclosure, the tame and often drugged animals have no chance of escape. Their deaths are often slow and agonizing because hunters, not wishing to spoil their trophy, aim for the animals’ body, rather than the head.

20. Elephant (Endangered Species), Wildlife Species Information: U.S. Fish And Wildl While Asian and African elephants have a lot in common Under the endangered SpeciesAct, the African elephant is listed as a threatened species and the http://species.fws.gov/species_accounts/bio_elep.html

Elephant African Elephants Photograph (42.7 K image) [US FWS Photograph By M. Westervelt] African and Asian elephants descended from a long line of giant animals that included the wooly mammoth and mastodon. The word "elephant" comes from the Greek word elephas, meaning ivory, in reference to the animal's prominent tusks, which are actually elongated incisor teeth. Excepting tusks, elephants have only four molar teeth. These teeth are replaced as they are worn away, up to six times throughout an elephant's life. The elephant's trunk is another unique and important feature. It is used not only for drinking and bathing but for smelling, breathing, feeling, and grasping food. At the end of the trunk is a sensitive "finger" for grasping things as small as a berry or as large as a branch. African elephants have two fingers while the Asian has only one. They also use their trunk as a snorkel when crossing deep rivers. Baby elephants are not born knowing how to use their trunk they must learn. Elephants live in the hot climates of Africa and Asia. To help protect themselves from the heat, elephants have large ears, with prominent veins, that they can flap to cool their blood. They must stay near water, not only for drinking, but also for bathing and cooling. In addition to mud baths, elephants also take dust baths to try to keep cool and deter insect attacks.
