5. How can we help save elephants?
Elephants live in forests, but many forests are being cut down. We should stop cutting down trees and protect the forests. Governments can set up more nature reserves and national parks for elephants. These protected areas can provide elephants with enough food and space to live. At the same time,people kill elephants for their ivory. This is very cruel. We must make strict laws to stop illegal hunting. We mustn’t buy things made of ivory.
