A picture released by Elephants Without Borders and taken on February 26, 2016 shows an Elephants Without Borders airplane flying over a herd of elephants at the Ngoma border between Namibia and Botswana.
The results of a three year aerial survey of Africa's elephants published by the NGO, Elephants Without Borders revealed a dramatic 30 percent decline in African savannah elephant populations. The first-of-its-kind survey is the largest wildlife census ever and involved flying over 18 African countries with scientists and conservationists counting live elephants and carcases to establish a baseline for future studies of elephant populations and how to protect them better.
