Asian Elephants

Asian elephants are beautiful creatures whose footprints spread all over many countries across Southeast
Asia. Tom Morgan, a renowned director, released a new documentary called Where Elephants Roam
explores the lives of these great creatures.

Mr Morgan’s journey filming the documentary

Mr Morgan spent three years following the Asian elephants for his documentary to try to understand their
______________________________________________________________________________________
habits and the world in which they live in. When he first saw an Asian elephant, he was amazed by their
______________________________________________________________________________________
size and intelligence. They can weigh around 11,000 pounds and their brains are very well-developed
______________________________________________________________________________________
and they have excellent memories.
______________________________________________________________________________________

The dangers faced by Asian elephants

In the wild, Asian elephants are easy targets for hungry tigers as food. They also face dangers from humans
______________________________________________________________________________________
who often hunt them and destroy their grassland habitats, leading to a falling population count. Today, there
______________________________________________________________________________________
are fewer than 50,000 left.
______________________________________________________________________________________

______________________________________________________________________________________

Endangered Species Foundation’s Work

The Endangered Species Foundation is working to save these endangered elephants. __________________
It encourages countries to pass strict laws against poaching and is working to protect the grasslands
______________________________________________________________________________________
where the elephants live. Besides Asian elephants being endangered, African elephants are also
______________________________________________________________________________________
vulnerable to extinction.
______________________________________________________________________________________

With these efforts, we hope to improve the lives of elephants, in particular Asian elephants so that the world

can enjoy and admire them.
