Extractions: Six Flags Surrenders Permits to Import Asian Elephant Babies ... CLICK HERE FOR URGENT UPDATE! U.S. Zoos Launch Major Effort to Import Wild Elephants Faced with early deaths, unsuccessful captive breeding programs and the prospect that their elephant "collections" will die out over the next 50 years, U.S. zoos have launched a major effort to restock by importing young elephants from Africa and Asia. Zoos condemn elephants - many captured from the wild - to a life of captivity under conditions that do not come close to approximating life in the wild for these complex and intelligent animals. IDA has been at the forefront of efforts to stop the zoos' import plans so that endangered and threatened elephants remain with their families in the wild where they belong. These efforts have included a successful lawsuit to prevent the Six Flags amusement park company from importing two baby Asian elephants to a Northern California amusement park. here to read more about the elephant capture.

Extractions: Sacramento, CAThe African elephant herds, placed squarely on the endangered species list for decades as the great matriarchal giants dwindled to what many thought would be eventual extinction are, it turns out, actually rebounding. Their population numbers are slightly up. They've also been taken off the "endangered" list and placed on the "threatened" list. And, ironically enough, "threatened" is exactly what they've become. Animal dealers separated thirty baby elephants from their herd in August and they're now slated for sale. South Africa is divided as the experts square off against those who would profit from the elephants' new "threatened" status. The ensuing court case could set precedence for how the elephant population will fare in the future. In the meantime, the thirty babies are being "tamed" and groomed for travel overseas.

Extractions: The African elephant is considered a threatened species. In 1970, biologists estimated that there were 1.5 million African elephants in the wild. By the 1990's, that number had dropped by 67%, leaving a wild population of only 500,000 elephants. The elephant's natural range has also diminished markedly. Whereas elephants once ranged throughout much of Africa, they are now mostly confined to parks and preserves south of the Sahara Desert. Only about 20% of their range is under some form of protection. Even within protected areas, elephants often fall victim to poachers and other pressures from man. Elephant population and range vary naturally with fluctuation of the food and water supply, but the influence of the modern world is accelerating the elephant's disappearance.

Contribute to our ad campaign Tell a friend about this attack on endangered animals Dear Friend, Do you believe the best way to save endangered animals is to kill them? Of course not. Yet thats the logic behind the Interior Departments plan to gut Americas 30-year-old Endangered Species Act, which has protected animals worldwide with bipartisan support under the last six US Presidents. IFAW first exposed this scheme in November. And thanks to a flood of email messages from people like you the Bush administration is starting to feel the heat. But now our opponents are fighting back. Thats why Im appealing for your help again. We must spread the word about this unprecedented threat to endangered species.
