African Elephants are endangered due to a combination of factors such as habitat loss, poaching for their ivory tusks, and human-elephant conflicts. Elephants require large land areas to roam and feed, but their habitats are being destroyed or fragmented as human populations grow.  Additionally, ivory poaching has led to a significant decline in elephant populations, with estimates suggesting that around 100 elephants are killed daily for their tusks. Finally, human-elephant conflicts occur when elephants raid crops or homes, leading to retaliation and sometimes lethal consequences for the elephants.
