@bait_doll @GW42006672 Schön endlich mal eine Quelle wenn auch nur über ein Land. Afrika besteht nicht nur aus Simbabwe laut https://t.co/KtPJfZeOGb existierten nach letzter Erhebung 2016 insgesamt 352271 Elefanten unterschiedlicher Arten &das ist schon recht wenig wenn man den Kontinent betrachtet.
@eNCA So the great elephant survey results were trumpeted around the world in 2016 saying there were 352,000 elephant now some 6 years later numbers have declined through increasing by 63,000! https://t.co/KM3DnQtTnG
There were an estimated 20 million African elephants before the Europeans arrived. There were only 1.3 million by 1979. And falling.
The savannah elephants were at 352,271 in 2016. The remaining forest elephant numbers are harder to pin down.

Now let’s examine the conservation outcomes.
African elephants are sold for trophies in roughly 90% of the countries they inhabit. Populations are steadily falling.

@SharonHoole there are various sources from research organisations some of them have done aerial surveys of the regions concerned. I can give a lot of references. #Debate #ZimbabweElephants
