Sumatran Elephants

Sumatran Elephants, are critically endangered
and there are local extinctions, in many places
as it is humans, who have willfully managed
to invade their territory, not leaving many spaces

Nearly 70%, of the Sumatran Elephants great habitat
has been totally destroyed, by the now known human rat
 in just one generation, over two thirds of lowland forests
have been willfully razed, for business corporation profits

Humans have built, many pulp and paper industries
and constructed food generation, from oil palm plantations
creating animal, human conflict, over elephant territories
as the destruction of their land, is for human consumption

Only the male Asian Elephants, have those mighty tusks
and this makes them a be target, for the illegal black market
This cuts down their breeding, as they need a lot of conceiving
because the evil bloodline of money, is what humans are greeding
