Most elephants are too large to worry about predators. But
there are some animals which might be dangerous to young
elephants. Those are Hyaenas, Crocodiles and Lions.
Elephant ivory was one used as a source of all kinds of
ornaments. In 1989 international laws against "ivory-trading"
were created to help declining elephant populations recover.
Another problem is the overdevelopment of the areas inhabited
by African elephants. Elephants have to constantly migrate
in the search for food. If they meet human settlements,
conflicts will surely arise, because they destroy fields
while searching for food. This conflict has become the most
important Elephant issue in recent years.
