KOYASO LEKOLOI SHOT His first elephant in anger. The hundred or so that followed he killed for money. During nearly two decades as a poacher, bandit, thief, and alleged murderer Lekoloi killed more elephants than any other individual in northern Kenya until, tired of life on the run, he decided to give up poaching. I met Lekoloi by the side of a dry riverbed just outside Samburu National Reserve in Kenya’s arid, craggy north. We sat on the ground beneath a towering acacia tree to talk. The sand…

Elephant Crisis Fund is working to conserve elephants because their population numbers have dropped from three million to around 300,000 in the wild, with their numbers steadily decreasing. In Sub-Saharan Africa elephants are being poached for their tusks and sold mostly to China and Vietnam because of the business of the ivory trade. Elephants need to be saved because they are keystone species, which means they are crucial to the biodiversity of Africa as many other…

It was a enourmous, hairy beast and weighed a billion tons. The boar had a huge snout and big bulging eyes. It was overlaid in mud. It had tusks as sharp as a needles. It was still before her. Jenny’s heart seemed to skip a beat. She took a quick glimpse at it and sprinted. Hopefully, Jenny was getting closer to the old black dodge. I looked behind myself. It was charging at Jenny with great speed. She turned right and it zoomed past her. She had a few seconds to decide which direction to go.…

¶ The next pizza you order might be delivered to you by a drone! These are quadcopters that are controlled remotely by the user or can be programmed to carry out a requested task. But, some believe that it can be used as an invasion of privacy. And some believe it could be used for assisting law enforcement. I believe that drones can help police, farmers, and movie producers get their jobs done easily. ¶ First off, I believe drones can substitute for things like helicopters or satellite images…
