The total elephant population has fallen to less than half a million and the numbers will continue to dwindle as long as they are under threat. There are several factors which are playing simultaneous roles in causing such wide spread threat to the very survival of the elephant species. These gentle giants have been used, abused and murdered mercilessly for fulfilling the vested needs of man. The only reason why a few have still managed to survive is because some people have dedicated their entire lives in the pursuit of protecting this great animal and saving it from extinction. Are elephants endangered species is not the question, instead the real issue is; what more can be done by us to save them from disappearing? In order to answer this question, we will first need to understand why elephants are in danger at all times.
Why are Elephants Endangered? There are a number of reasons:
1, Lose of habitat
2, Starvation
3, Death by poaching
4, Pollution
5, Wildlife reserves
Apart from the above mentioned reasons, elephants are often exploited for commercial purposes such as for offering joy rides to tourists. They are made to walk on tar roads, in extremely hot summers, without any water or food. The feet of this animal are very soft and get easily bruised and infected due to continuous walking on rough roads. Hopefully, now you know as to why are elephants endangered species and why they need our help in order to survive.本回答被提问者采纳

Elephants are the biggest living animals on land. They are big and strong. They have very small and bright eyes. They also have large and white teeth, people often called them tusks. There are no bones in the back of elephants’ feet because they are very fat.
Elephants can eat 100 to 1,000 pounds of grass in a day. They can live 60~70 years. They can walk on tiptoe in the mud easily. Elephants are big but they can move quietly.
Elephants are friendly towards each other and they never attack people. If people train them, they can help farmers carry the heavy things.
Elephants are in danger now! Because hunters will kill them for their tusks. If people sell elephants’ tusks, they can make a lot of money. If we don’t help these wild animals, they will all die soon.
