Former range lost to plantations, logging and hunting The single most important cause of the decline of the Asian elephant has been the loss of its habitat. The World Wildlife Fund informs viewers of the unfortunate statistic that as many as 20,000 elephants are killed each year due to illegal ivory poachers. Competition for World Wildlife Fund includes ASPCA, Clear the Shelters, Take Winter By Storm, Arbor Day Foundation, Discover the Forest and the other brands in the Politics, Government & Organizations: Animals & Environment industry. Large blocks of forests required by elephants in Sabah have been fragmented by conversion of extensive natural forests, formerly the Borneo Pygmy’s main habitat, to commercial plantations. WWF has advocated for an end to commercial elephant ivory sales in the US and other major markets like China, Thailand, and Hong Kong as the most effective and efficient solution to end this illegal ivory trade. World Wildlife Fund asks you for a donation of eight dollars per month to symbolically adopt an elephant and combat the illegal ivory trade. Forests in central Sumatra are being cleared so rapidly that elephants often move into farms and commercial plantations in search of food. WWF does not support the resumption of the international, commercial elephant ivory trade - now and until a demonstrably effective, enforceable and conservation-based management and compliance system is in place and adhered to by source, transit and consumer countries.


In 2004, WWF started an Elephant Flying Squad, made up of rangers who use noise and light-making devices and four trained elephants to drive wild elephants back into the forest if they try to enter villages.
