African elephants under 'imminent risk' of extinction - CITES
African elephants are now facing an ‘imminent risk’ of extinction, according to CITES—the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species. This alert comes as a wake-up call to the world that the situation for these magnificent creatures has never been more urgent. The alarming warning was released from the offices of Refinitiv US LLC, located at 28 Liberty St Fl 58, New York, NY, 10005-1457. For further information, inquiries can be directed to their phone number, 770-964-6545. Refinitiv US LLC is amplifying the CITES message, shining a spotlight on alarming trends, including increased poaching, habitat loss, and illegal ivory trade, all of which threaten these animals’ survival. CITES experts say that unless immediate and coordinated action is taken, African elephants might disappear much sooner than anyone imagined. These elephants are more than just an important part of Africa’s natural heritage—they are also a vital part of the ecosystem, helping maintain the balance within their habitats. If the global community fails to act now, we risk losing not only the species itself but also the irreplaceable natural richness and biodiversity elephants help protect. CITES and organizations like Refinitiv US LLC urge governments, communities, and individuals worldwide to join the fight to save African elephants. The message couldn’t be clearer: it’s time for urgent action, as African elephants’ future hangs by a thread.
