Today I visited two websites about saving elephants. You can see the websites at http://wildlifeconservationnetwork.org/wildlife/elephant2.html#threats and http://www.savetheelephants.org. They are about saving elephants in Africa. The elephants are declining because of hunting. People hunt elephants because they want their ivory. The ivory is the tusks. They use them for piano keys and other items. They are tracking the elephants by putting collars around their necks. By doing this, they can track the elephants and learn more about them. The websites are getting people to love elephants, not kill elephants. If you want to save elephants too, go to http://wildlifeconservationnetwork.org/support/ and donate money. Be sure to donate it to the elephants. I would appreciate it if you would make a donation to save elephants in East, West, Central and South Africa.

Did you know that humpback whales eat 3000 pounds of krill a day? The krill is getting poisoned and the krill are dying, so the humpback whales suffer because they don’t have enough food. They are also being hunted. I am going to show a video about humpback whales and how they are being killed. They are so friendly. It would be great if you could help.
