Question

In your opinion honestly do you think elephants will become extinct within the next century?

Answer

No, I dont. They may unfortunately be reduced some 50% though, depending not only on ivory hunt and poaching, but on mans successively growth in number, and due to that, a shrinking habitat for elephants in general, both in Asia and Africa.
