Probably there will be no more elephants in 25 years, except for small numbers in zoos and wildlife sanctuaries in developed countries. At the rate it is going, African wildlife will largely disappear even as the human population explodes. Already there are over 1.2 billion humans on the continent, and not enough food, not enough stability or prosperity. Bush meat is popular and can be bought anywhere, which of course means people are hunting and eating protected species. There are a couple hundred thousand chimpanzees left in Africa; there were once millions. There are maybe 20,000 lions, down from half a million. There were once millions of African elephants; now they're down to half a million and still dropping. Many other species are facing similar fates. We humans are like a blight on this planet. Maybe we should quickly develop extraterrestrial colonization technologies, get the population off world, and preserve the Earth as a giant animal sanctuary.
