African Elephant 1

Down from an estimated 3-5 million in the past century, current figures peg the African Elephant population in the wild at approximately 415,000. Poaching and the ivory trade are the primary culprits, though habitat loss, fragmentation, and human-elephant conflict are also to blame. To discourage elephants from raiding crops, farmers often employ a mixture of dried elephant dung and hot chili, commonly called "Chili bombs".
