As of 2014 the African elephant population stood at an estimated 374,000 down from an estimated 10 million elephants at the turn of the 20th century https://t.co/UHkYR6Nysl
@jacobaias1 @washingtonpost @CNN The study which I will link for you AGAIN - https://t.co/K6w6bNaKUk - was conducted in 2015 and published in 2016. Has nothing to do with American politics. It is purely data. If you're truly interested in conservation you might want to learn about it.
@jacobaias1 @washingtonpost @CNN I'll explain this with small words. The article at https://t.co/K6w6bNaKUk which WaPo references is reviewed by many experts in the field before publication. This keeps it accurate and without bias. It is not journalism, although it can be cited as a source.
Over 20 million elephants may have roamed Africa's Great Plains before European colonization. In 2014, aerial surveys left us with just over 350,000 https://t.co/aT1tS2mWj8
