let's not mince words. The catastrophic acceleration in decline of elephant populations is directly correlated to the rise in wealth of China and Asia in general. For countries with such advanced IQ and engineering skills, this is a massive stain on their reputation. They need to address this massively. Now I'm fully aware that most of the decline in the Elephant (and other) species in general in the past 200 years can be blamed squarely on the West. But this does not excuse snuffing out these absolutely priceless brethren of humanity for the most base of barbaric reasons, now that there are so few of them left. Asia needs to sort this out, like, yesterday. The West has huge historic baggage on this and thankfully was able to turn itself around at the last minute. Now china and Asia seriously need to do the same, pronto. PRONTO.
