My opinion
What do you think and feel?
I think that it is very upsetting knowing that we are slowly losing species. We should try harder to protect them. It is sad that we only have about 3,000 of the Sumatran elephants left. It's also sad that some of them are losing their homes. Overall, i just hope that the elephants do not go extinct
