Dallas Endangered Elephants

A social issue is a large problem that affects the whole society. A social issue is if a person pours something like oil or gasoline in the ocean it will affect other animals. Some people who drink the water will be affected by it because they will get sick.

I know that Asian elephants have no tusks. A juvenile elephant is a child elephant that is just starting to grow its tusks. A mature male elephant is called a bull. A mature female elephant is called a cow. A baby is called a calf and it’s hairy when it’s born.

Elephants are endangered because when the elephants come on farmers crop they throw fires and shoot them. They are also endangered because poachers are killing them because they want their tusks for ivory. They are endangered because some African countries are at war and elephants can’t get the food and water they need.

One way I think I can help elephants by making shelter to hide them from poachers. Another thing I would do to help is to hire people to go in the jungle and see if the elephants are ok.

What I have learned is that elephants are a huge part of our community. Also I learned that elephants tusks are very valuable. I am writing this because I want to inform you to stop killing elephants for their tusks and try to help.
