Did you know that both African and Asian Elephants are critically endangered? 90% of the population of African elephants has been lost in the past century due to habitat loss and poaching. Since this pattern is free, please consider donating what you think it was worth to a charity that is working towards aiding elephants to continue to thrive in their natural habitat, such as WWF.
