Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each of the questions.

HELPING TO SAVE THE ELEPHANTS

The number of elephants has reduced so much that they are now in danger of extinction. The two species of elephants left on earth today are the African and the Asian elephants. The African elephant is threatened and the Asian elephant is in serious danger.

Although some progress has been made over the past few years to protect the elephant, a lot more needs to be done. A large number of male Asian elephants are being killed for their ivory tusks, but the biggest threat to the survival of the elephants is the loss of their habitat.

One-fifth of the earth's human population lives in Asia and their activities are squeezing elephants out. Today, there are probably fewer than 35,000 elephants living in the wild in Asia. That may sound like a big number but in fact, the reality is that their future is not guaranteed. One of the reasons is that they are split into small, vulnerable groups, another is that, as there are not enough males, reproduction rates are falling. Asian elephants are in so much danger that some experts estimate that they could disappear in fewer than twenty years.

Protecting the elephant will take a lot of work and determination from a lot of different sources. In May 1989, due to pressure from conservationists and animal protectionists, the United States, Canada, Australia, the European Community and a few other countries banned the commercial import of ivory. From 1990 onwards ivory, body parts and live elephants (excluding zoo animals) cannot be imported or exported from or to these countries.

In another attempt to save the elephant, protectionists have started breeding elephants in captivity. Since 1990 for example, Ringling Bros. Circus has bred 16 elephants and a total of 42 elephants have been bred in captivity in North America. Circus elephants live longer than elephants in the wild; in captivity, they can live up to 60 or 70 years while in the wild a female elephant lives to 50 years and a male elephant only to 30 years.

The biggest threat to elephants is _____.

  • the loss of their tusks
