I value elephants because of the their unique personality and general nature. They are gentle giants of sorts; beautiful and serene yet powerful if their family is attacked.

People may value elephants in Africa because of the balance they bring to the ecosystem through the food chain. Elephant dung is decomposed, then fertilizers the grass and trees that elephants as well as other animals, such as giraffes, eat from.

I feel that my positive attitude towards elephants would grow if I lived near them, as I’d be able to experience their positive nature on a daily basis. However, I’d probably grow more cautious and make sure to to upset my new neighbors.

I value elephants by acknowledging that they are like any other animal and don’t deserve to die. People in Africa may value elephants by giving people resources or that they help to maintain a stable ecosystem in Africa. I think I would value elephants more if I lived closer to them.

I value elephants due to how much they have survived and how their brains are so similar to humans as they feel complex feelings such as empathy. People may value elephants in Africa because of how immersed elephants are In African culture.

I don’t value elephants. If I lived in Mozambique though, I would definitely value elephants more because they would be part of my home. Imagine if they got rid of Mc Donald’s in America. You would definitely want that part of your country’s culture back.

I do value elephants because of how much they have been through, Some reasons people may value them in Africa is because of how important they are in that environment and the nature that was there. My feelings would change if I leaved near them because you get to see them and what they really do along with how beautiful they are.

I do value elephants because they are important to ecosystems and are basically the holding ground for ecosystems that they are in. They are also very cute :). I would be more sentimental towards elephants if I lived near them because they are cute and I would want to be best friends with them 😊👍.

I would say I value elephants to an extent, I understand their importance and how they’re well known for being kind. People in Africa may value elephants because they’re a big part of the history, there’s a constant worry for them because of their ivory (bad or good). I believe I’d have stronger feelings of sympathy for elephants if I lived near them. A good majority of animal lovers will understand that elephants are kind and considerate, yet people will find ways to hurt them.

1. I value them greatly, they have a spot in nature, people don’t even realize how much they do for the earth.

2. Elephants have a very important role in the eco-system, if we loose them from our little care and ignorance, we will be the reason why our world collapses sooner rather than later.

3. I would be happy even being able to have a glimpse of an elephant. Animals in general are beautiful, and I couldn’t pick a better animal to live near than such intelligent and kind creatures.

I don’t really value elephants, but I think it’s important to keep as many species alive as possible so they can be admired by other people for a long time. Also when an animal goes extinct, it could mess up a part of the food chain I think. People may value elephants in Africa because they want to preserve life. My feelings would probably not change if I lived near them unless it somehow affected me directly.

I value elephants greatly, as I think they are a very interesting and important animal to the ecosystem and to our education. Some reasons people may value elephants in Africa are due to the fact they feel it’s a part of their identity and history, and they feel that they need to protect the animals a part of their background. As they said in the video, “it’s important for me to take care of my country, because who else will?” I think I would value elephants more if I did live close to them because I would wake up and see them every day or hear about encounters and people who interact with them.
