African elephants could be extinct in wild within decades, experts say

This report made me really sad because I have always thought that elephants are beautiful creatures.  I don’t necessarily think that this is the most important article, but it touched me.  Also, I do think it is important because elephants are being poached for their ivory tusks and I don’t think that killing such a beautiful animal is worth a little bit of jewelry.
