So sad. I don't know if we will learn soon enough to stop our own extinction...........after we destroy our planet and it's wildlife.

Humans have done and are still doing so much damage to life on our Earth! So sad.

Thank you for posting Julia. Let's hop & pray that the steps will be taken to preserve their habitats. Elephants are such precious gifts to us we should everything in our power to stop this from ever happening!!

Wednesday January 25, 2012, 10:48 am
noted and thanks for the wonderful post Julia. We are destroying our world, killing our animals systematically. Only we have the power to stop this and we can do something if we all join together and make our voices heard once again..via congressmen/women and any other means available to us.

Are we to regard the world of nature simply as a storehouse to be robbed for the immediate benefit of man? . . . Does man have any responsibility for the preservation of a decent balance in nature, for the preservation of rare species, or even for the indefinite continuance of his race?

Went to the site! It is about Greed! Deforestation and now Obama opening up our Nation's Protected Parks to Hydraulic Fracking and Coastal Shores to Deep Water Oil drilling which includes Alaska. If I remember right, that is what he ran his platform on, against the republicans chant of "Drill, Baby, Drill!" Whether it is Ivory, Oil, Coal, Gold, Uranium, etc. - Greed that's precedence over the Environment and Wildlife. No matter what the people want.
Our EXTINCTION is next Don't you think that the World's Leaders on ways of decreasing the population because at the rate that the human population is growing, we are on the doorstep of facing food shortages and clean drinking water. What is on the plate and has been for a long time, is a limited Nuclear War, or most likely something like the "Black Plague!" This is No Joke! and I am not crazy! "Soylent Green" an overpopulation and the greenhouse effect have made life extremely difficult ,

It's reports like this, of which there are far too many, that can cause one to despair over the momentum of man's indifference and rampant greed. Like others here, I pray that the collective majority of people who oppose this sort of thing act to reverse the trend. If not, we are all lost.

This is our future!
We seriously need to address human OVERPOPULATION and rethink our sick, unnatural lifestyles!
STOP ECOCIDE!!!

Wednesday January 25, 2012, 8:48 pm
I agree with the last comment: STOP ECOCIDE!!!

One thing that we all can do is to check ingrediants in products that you buy containing oil. If it says Palm Oil, put it back and tell the store manager to consider not stocking his shelves with a product that is implicated in myriad enviromental catrastophes.

Humans need to change their greedy ways.......

Thanks for posting this. I am afraid that everything om Sumatra will be gone long before that if they don't stop the resent development. So sad, beautyful animals

''VERY SAD''

30 Years...? I think less. Without Rhinos, poachers will be targeting
Elephants Big Time! Ivory Tusks are worth more yen than gold.

Thursday January 26, 2012, 2:34 pm
I agree w/ this one..
Humans have done and are still doing so much damage to life on our Earth!

Thursday January 26, 2012, 4:31 pm
Why is never that humans are in danger of becoming extinct? Every time I see things like this I get sad and angry because we ate the ones who should not be here.

Thursday January 26, 2012, 4:31 pm
Thankyou for the info, very sad

Thursday January 26, 2012, 5:46 pm
This would be a great tragedy to lose these beautiful animals. These forests are being decimated because cheap cookies need to be made with something so the elephants suffer and people get diabetes instead.

Thursday January 26, 2012, 5:51 pm
Yeah. And in our infinite "wisdom" "intelligence" and "progress," the human race flourish and thrive. NOT.

You don't have to wait until December 21, 2012 to witness the demise of the earth and its predominant species. Look around. We're already there.

Appalling.

This has to be stopped. Greed and profit in the short term always prevails on the long term. Aren't people aware they are destroying their children's future?

Friday January 27, 2012, 9:04 pm
This is so sad, and so TOTALLY unnecessary. STUPID/GREEDY humans are obviously at the root of this problem!

“Life is as dear to the mute creature as it is to a man. Just as one wants happiness and fears pain, just as one wants to live and not to die, so do other creatures.”——His Holiness The Dalai Lama

My prayer for all the abused, tortured, exploited and murdered victims

Compassion is the source of happiness in life….Without loving kindness and compassion, there is no peace or happiness in the family, the society, the country, or the world. 'With the Medicine Buddha mantra you can liberate numberless sentient beings from oceans of suffering and bring them to enlightenment.' - Lama Zopa. Tayata Om Bekanze Bekanze Maha BeKanze Radza Samudgate Soha
- Lama Zopa Rinpoche

“Not to hurt our humble brethren is our first duty to them, but to stop there is not enough. We have a higher mission—to be of service to them wherever they require it.”—Francis of Assisi

Hunt people and let elephants thrive on the island. As it turns out, it seems to be the only way not to decimate the remaining elephants.
