Post The wholesale slaughter of African wildlife. Elephant census shows staggering decline, EXACTLY as we thought. Make Room, Make Room for more negros

He was a magnificent bull right in his prime, 45 to 50 years old. To get at his prized ivory tusks, poachers hacked off his face.

Slaughtered for their ivory, the elephants are left to rot, their carcasses dotting the dry riverbed; in just two days, we counted the remains of more than 20 elephants in a small area.

Visitors and managers at the tourist camps here are frequently alarmed by the sound of gunshots nearby.

And Chase worries that if Botswana can't protect its elephants, there's little hope for the species as a whole.

Chase, the founder of Elephants Without Borders (EWB), is the lead scientist of the Great Elephant Census, (GEC) an ambitious project to count all of Africa's savannah elephants -- from the air.

Before the GEC, total elephant numbers were largely guesswork. But over the past two years, 90 scientists and 286 crew have taken to the air above 18 African countries, flying the equivalent of the distance to the moon -- and a quarter of the way back -- in almost 10,000 hours.

Prior to European colonization, scientists believe that Africa may have held as many as 20 million elephants; by 1979 only 1.3 million remained -- and the census reveals that things have gotten far worse.

According to the GEC, released Thursday in the open-access journal PeerJ, Africa's savannah elephant population has been devastated, with just 352,271 animals in the countries surveyed -- far lower than previous estimates.

Three countries with significant elephant populations were not included in the study. Namibia did not release figures to the GEC, and surveys in South Sudan and the Central African Republic were postponed due to armed conflict.

In seven years between 2007 and 2014, numbers plummeted by at least 30%, or 144,000 elephants.

And the specific cases are even more disturbing:

In the Selous Game Reserve in Tanzania, and Mozambique's Niassa Reserve, elephant populations have plummeted by more than 75% in the past ten years as poachers cut down family herds, according to the survey.

The Babile Elephant Sanctuary in Ethiopia hasn't lived up to its name: Chase and the team counted just a single herd of 36 elephants -- the last in the Horn of Africa, a vast area roughly the size of Mexico.

"When you think of how many elephants occurred in areas 10 or 20 years ago, it's incredibly disheartening," says Chase.

"Historically these ecosystems supported many thousands of elephants compared to the few hundreds or tens of elephants we counted."

The current rate of species decline is 8%, meaning that elephant numbers could halve to 175,000 in nine years if nothing changes, according to the survey -- and localized extinction is almost certain.

Even before the census offered proof, scientists calculated that far more elephants were dying than being born. Now the species has reached a tipping point.

Chase and other scientists feared they were in a race against time, which is where the Great Elephant Census came in.

The speed

Default EXACTLY as we thought. Make Room, Make Room for more negros

...but the negros don't want, need, or use the room that's made. Instead, they're all beating feet just as fast as they can to get to Libya, get on a boat and "sail" to Italy before winter hits - by the tens and hundreds of thousands.

If 1,000 niggers were shot for each one of these poached elephants the reasonable exchange would be inadequate by logarithmic factors. As far as I'm concerned all the niggers in Africa are not worth 1/2 of a single poached elephant.

All the niggers in the world are not worth one elephant. If the bipedal locust scum aren't stopped, so much that is magnificent & irreplaceable will very soon become extinct forever.

Mass sterilization is the humane answer: there must be some way to secretly slip them drugs to accomplish it. Failing that, they should just be slaughtered; far better worthless them than the hugely-valuable elephants, rhinos, gorillas & hippos, What an incredible continent-wide nature preserve Africa would make, with maybe just a few longsuffering pygmies & San hunter-gatherers scattered about.
