RE: A new genetic study of elephants confirm that there are three species alive, not two – Will this end the debate once and for all?

in #nature6 years ago

That's true, but we must still focus on saving the species itself. The elephants are being poached due to their ivory, so I would say that it is not simply enough to preserve the forest itself.

Sort:  

The initiative to save the species alone may not be fruitful if they don't have proper habitat to live. Maybe we can conclude saying that we might have to preserve both the species and their habitat as well.

Yeah, that's a good conclusion :) Often saving the environment is enough, and the species will thrice by themselves, but sometimes we need a protection of the animals themselves as well :)
