Elephants are a fascinating keystone species that knocks down trees, creates new trails through the brush and digs watering holes that can be used by other animals. However, they have been poached for centuries and their role in their ecosystem is at risk. In this video we explore how the elephant has so far managed to survive the ivory trade, where populations are declining and increasing as well as some concrete examples of what has been done to conserve them. We will cover both the African and Asian species. # ABOUT THIS VIDEO Elephant species are spread across two continents, Africa and Asia.
