Let us now give an example of wise conservation of what remains of the gifts of nature.” Asian Elephants and Indian Elephants ( Elephas maximus indicus ) are both listed as Endangered (EN) on the ICUN red list. We have given an awful exhibition of slaughter and destruction, which may serve as a warning to all mankind.

Examples include panda bears, wolves, elephants, tigers, etc. We hear about the problem with charismatic land species. It's those species that either have a powerful personality or a cute face that endear people to them and garner news attention. It's the same problem with marine life.

People also say that hyraxes are elephants, but they are so distant in their relationship that it is little different than saying that deer are a type of pronghorn antelope. For example, there seems to have been dinosaurs that used feathers as their body covering.

The Natal Spurfowl forages on rhinoceros and elephant dung (HBW) and does so without complaining. Here are a few examples: The Ostrich Communal Nesting System. However, that is hard to do when reading that the pouch is used in courtship rituals. Think about it when you feel hard done by life.

Presumably, the Natal Spurfowl thinks the Kruger Park is good habitat, with all the big animals around – the HBW remarks (with a slight hint of disapproval) that the species forages on rhinoceros and elephant dung. The bird … … and the dung provider.

For example, a government might refuse to protect - or even willfully destroy - its own natural treasure, as when, in the 1990s, Saddam Hussein's regime drained the wetlands that were home to the persecuted Marsh Arabs. In Nicaragua, the army patrols beaches to protect sea turtle eggs.

Elephants, whales, hippopotamuses, giraffes, and alligators use low-frequency sounds to communicate over long distances, often miles; and bats, dolphins, whales, frogs, and various rodents use high-frequency sounds to find food, communicate with others, and navigate.

Take an example, Tembe Elephant Park in South Africa. This was one of the first, most shocking and most important lessons I learnt in my conservation masters – conservation requires active management. We can’t afford just to let nature be nature any more. Not if we want to hang on to what we have left.

Despite some shared evolutionary history, wolf morality is different from human morality and also from elephant morality and chimpanzee morality" (19). Furthermore, "We need to be careful about language and remember that [for example] altruism has a specific meaning within biology and isn't synonymous with morality" (82).

Our methods have changed over time — Linneaus, for example, chose not to classify bats among birds — but now, detailed molecular analyses can confound even the most comprehensive and rigorous morphology-based hypotheses, not to mention “obvious&# groupings.

So, while this fact does not need to concern us, if we are thinking about ethical principles, for example based on rational arguments leading to deontological ethics, that changes when we are talking about how to move society towards this ethical ideal. This observation is so obvious that it does not seem to merit quoting empirical support.

In fact, should anything smaller than an elephant seal wander into the territory it will be rewarded not only with copious amounts of warm milky guano but a thorough battering.
