The African Forest Elephant (Loxodonta cylcotis) - a Distinct Species from the more popular African Bush Elephant (L. africana)

Elephant populations in central African forests encourage the growth of slow-growing trees that sequester more carbon from the atmosphere than faster-growing species. Their extinction would result in a 7% decrease in the aboveground biomass and reduce the ability of the forest to capture carbon. slu.edu/news/2019/july/el…
The Asian elephant thunders the deep, mysterious jungle with 5 tons of bulk. Closer to mammoths than to their African cousins, they are dominant megaherbivores & keystone species. Their massive heads use great strength to bulldoze forest, & their nimble trunks precisely manipulate their environment.

Thanks Gov. Lamont for signing “Cecil’s Bill”. We finally crossed the finish line, thanks to State Sen. Cohen, Friends of Animals and all of our great staff. CT trophy hunters will no longer be able to sell the body parts of the African elephants, giraffes, leopards, lions and rhinos they kill.
