The African savanna elephant (Loxodonta africana) as Endangered on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species™. African elephant populations have fallen from an estimated 12 million a century ago to some 400,000. In recent years, at least 20,000 elephants have been killed in Africa each year for their tusks. African forest elephants have been the worst hit. Their populations declined by 62% between 2002-2011 and they have lost 30% of their geographical range, with African savanna elephants declining by 30% between 2007-2014. This dramatic decline has continued and even accelerated with cumulative losses of up to 90% in some landscapes between 2011 and 2015.

#19  THE REST

- Name: ** Ng'aali ** ( Grey Crowned Crane )
- Location: ** The Wild of Uganda ** 
- Status: Endangered. 
- Population: Approximately 33,500 
- Scientific name: Balearica regulorum gibbericeps

Populations in many areas including Kenya, Uganda, Zimbabwe and Namibia have experienced very rapid declines. Overall estimates suggest that the species’ global population has declined from over 100,000 individuals in 1985 to 50,000-64,000 individuals in 2004. This implies that the species may have declined by over 50% in 19 years, and when these data are extrapolated to a period of 45 years in the past (1967-2012) or past and future (1985-2030), assuming an exponential trend, the calculated rate of decline is c.65-79%. Declines are attributed primarily to habitat loss and fragmentation and illegal removal of birds and eggs from the wild for food, traditional use, domestication and the international illegal trade market.
