The African elephant, the largest l

非洲大象是目前活着的最大的陆地动物，濒临灭绝的危险。原因与其他濒临灭绝的情况非常相似。兽是高价值商品的来源（在这种情况下，是象牙），人类住区越来越多地将动物的栖息地围起来。东非大象受到最直接的威胁，因为它们是非法象牙贸易的受害者。同时，不断增长的人口迫使所有非洲大象重新回到曾经偏僻的公园，在许多情况下，大象的密度已超过自然食物的供应。

非洲象，现在最大的陆地动物，现在活着，有灭绝的危险。其原因与其他濒临灭绝的情况非常相似;野兽是一种价值很高的商品的来源——在这种情况下，象牙——动物的栖息地（）正被人类住区所围起来。东非大象受到最立即的威胁，因为它们是象牙非法贸易的受害者。与此同时，人口不断增加迫使所有非洲象回到曾经偏远的公园，那里的大象密度在许多情况下超过了自然食物供应。

The African elephant, the largest land animal now alive, is in danger of extinction(灭绝). The reasons are very similar to those in other cases of near extinction; the beast is the source of a highly valued commodity—in this case, ivory（象牙）—and the animal's habitat (居住地) is being more and more fenced in by human settlements. East African elephants are most immediately threatened because they are victims of an illegal trade in ivory. At the same time, a growing human population has forced all African elephants back into once remote parks, where elephant density has in many cases exceeded the natural food supply.<br>
