Africa's Elephant population could become extinct since the current rate of species decline is 8%, meaning that elephant numbers could become 175,000 in nine years. Scientists calculated that the elephant death rate is higher than the birth rate. Moreover, the Elephant population has plummeted greater than 75% in a decade, in the Tanzania Serous Game Reserve, and Mozambique's Niassa Reserve. Chase and his team counted a single group of 36 elephants, which it is the last pack in the Horn of Africa. Many elephants live in northern Botswana, South Africa, and Zimbabwe which those three countries account greater than 60% of all elephants tallied in the Great Elephant Census.
