Save the habitat, not only the species (Score 1)

I've been in several parts of Africa and at least the elephants aren't an endangered species anymore.

But the ecosystem as a whole is in danger and partly due to these big mammals. Elephants are causing great damages the forest and use an enormous amount of water.

The human population is rapidly increasing and for traditional reasons people are investing in cattle, big consumer of water too.

Desertification in wide parts of Africa is the real danger. Exporting some animals to another continent won't stop any extinction beyond what can be done in a zoo.
