Elephants of Thailand in Danger of Becoming Extinct

August 6, 2004 - For over 5,000 years have been elephants in the service of man and, until a few centuries ago roamed over much of the planet. Earlier this century there were over 100,000 of them in Siam (Thailand) and the number of species of Asian elephant was in the millions. Today there are only lived in Thailand 3000-4000, in the midst of a world population is estimated at U.S. 30,000. Imagine that ... in human terms, this is less a fan of football in a game of media in the home. Suffice to say that our world would be like if they were all there were of us ... so few that they could comfortably in a sports stadium. The numbers have declined for various reasons, not least of hunting, but the greatest threat now is through the growth of human population invades their land for pasture. Literally nowhere to go. Together with the lack of work for the interior elephant because of the logging ban in 1989, the future looks promising for species of very little. Fortunately for them there are storage facilities for their condition, and devote much of their time to help them. One of its projects involve mobile clinics out of the elephants in the jungle for managing health services, instructions to caregivers (elephant trainers) for the basic health and diet. Injections and pills are administered, if necessary, more often, to clean the wound. Other projects include caring for sick and old elephants, providing a place to live in dignity. There is also an elephant hospital. Feed the largest animal in the world is not cheap: we eat lots of bananas for lunch. The medicine is expensive. These centers are nonprofit organizations and rely on donations from supporters. Pair these good intentions and Paul Thusius Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and Sean Bunzick of Cape Cod, Massachusetts.
