Asian Elephant Diminishing Numbers

NORTHERN THAILAND- FEB 28 2006: An elephant is seen through a grove of trees near Elephant Haven, a refuge for the animals in Northern Thailand. Asian elephants - strong, social, and intelligent - have been trained for thousands of years for use in transportation, labor, and ritual. In Thailand, Elephants are of immense cultural importance, but their numbers are shockingly plummeting. In 1905, there were over 100,000 elephants in this land - now they are estimated at less than 5,000, of which barely half are in the wild. (Photo by Logan Mock-Bunting)
