World Peace :Terrorist group and Elephants

Terrorist group grown by greedy and Endangered Elephants

Elephants suffered from imprisonment and assault in India for 50 years were released with the help of charity. Elephant who is called 'Raju" felt the freedom, then he was touched and burst into tears of joy. Elephants can cry, play, laugh, and also even can form lifelong relationships. They are very highly intelligent and social animals.

Although they can’t speak as human beings do and also can’t be clever than humans, they are the member of the earth living with people. However, too many elephants are abused or dying due to ivory poaching by people who are greedy and worse than beast.

 Earlier this year, Guangdong Province in China showed a willingness for protection of wildlife poaching and smuggling crackdown by confiscating ivory from smugglers and scraping its total amount. Nevertheless, the 60-90% supply of the ivory in Africa inflows into China, the largest consuming country in the world, via Hong-Kong or other countries.

Ornaments made ​​of ivory in China has traditionally been called the 'white gold' and represents a symbol of wealth. In addition, there is a myth that blocks bad luck. So, giving ivory as a gift has become very popular. Due to this, the price of ivory in China was increased three times from $ 750 per 1kg in 2010 to $ 2,100 in this year, but its popularity is continuing.

 Moreover, the price of ivory in China is more expensive 10 times than the price in local Africa. Then, the rebels and crime organizations like some forces which are linked with Al-Qaeda in Somalia are going to poach elephants on a large scale aiming massive profiteering. So, that kind of groups can be the way to giving the aid with money. As a result, too many elephants are becoming dead and they are now endangered. It is a problem that it's not easy to cut elephant's ivory, so ivory poachers kill elephants to gain that. According to NGO reports, if poaching is being continued like now, 20 percent of African elephants must be gone within 10 years.

Since few years ago, Poaching elephant's ivory has become an international problem. So now, the number is slightly getting reduced. However, if consumer markets exist, poaching will not come to an end. At the same time, the forces that want taking advantages will continue to expand their own power and to cause disputes, conflicts, violence, murders, and other atrocities with the international community.


Although the cost of destroying lives eventually returns to humans, terrible things are going on all over the world due to the selfishness of human beings, such as destruction of life and catastrophes leading to death even now. I hope that all we do not seek only the interests at the moment, but also widen far more their eyes to look at the world. For leaving life, safety, and peace to the next generation, I hope that all we have more interests in the world where we live, and also I hope everyone practices love and sharing.
