Questions No. 27 to 32
　Today, our topic is the Asian elephant, the largest land animal in Asia. They are found across South and Southeast Asia. Asian elephants are sociable animals that usually live in groups and are known for helping each other. They are also intelligent and have the ability to use tools.
　The Asian elephant’s population has dropped greatly over the last 75 years, even though this animal is listed as endangered. Why has this happened? One reason for this decline is illegal human activities. Wild elephants have long been killed for ivory. But now, there is a developing market for other body parts, including skin and tail hair. These body parts are used for accessories, skin care products, and even medicine. Also, the number of wild elephants caught illegally is increasing because performing elephants are popular as tourist attractions.
　Housing developments and farming create other problems for elephants. Asian elephants need large areas to live in, but these human activities have reduced their natural habitats and created barriers between elephant groups. As a result, there is less contact between elephant groups and their numbers are declining. Also, many elephants are forced to live close to humans, resulting in deadly incidents for both humans and elephants.
　What actions have been taken to improve the Asian elephant’s future? People are forming patrol units and other groups that watch for illegal activities. People are also making new routes to connect elephant habitats, and are constructing fences around local living areas to protect both people and elephants.
Next, let’s look at the current situation for elephants in different Asian countries. Each group will give its report to the class.
