The safety precautions that I need to follow in this lab session is to wear lab coat and closed-toe shoes that cover the top of the foot. Majority of the experiment that ive done are dealing with observing the muscle cell or microcirculation under the micrsococpe and the precaution when i used microscope are hold the microscope with one hand around the arm of the device, and the other hand under the base. This is the most secure way to hold and walk with the microscope.I should be avoiding touching the lenses of the microscope because the oil and dirt on fingers can scratch the glass. Next are rotate the nosepiece of the microscope all the way down to its lowest level when I have finished using the microscope. If I leave the nosepiece up while storing it, the gears on the device can wear out. If this happens, the nosepiece may not be able to lift and hold its position. When finished the observation using microscope, I should also clean all slides, materials, and work. I should also be extra careful with the slides and cover slips because they are made of glass and if broken, we will get cut and will bleed. Last but not least I always put back the lab benches to their own position while conducting experiments or after the experiment. This includes unnecessary books, backpacks, cell phones, and other personal items. I will also report any damaged or broken equipment to instructor immediately. I also need to know where is first aid kit, the shower, eyewash bath, and fire extinguisher are and how and when to use them.

Secondly, is the trunk adaptation. This is for the elephant to reach the food high up in branches. Thus, the trunk also allows them to get to food and water on the ground. And the most unique one is that the trunks is being used by the elephant to make calls and other sounds to communicate with one another and warn their herd about any potential threats.

Thirdly, is the tusks of an elephant. Elephant uses their tusks to strip bark and soft wood off from the trees which they subsequently eat. Other than that, their tusks allows them to survive through dry spells ad they use them to bore down into the earth and find water in dry riverbeds. Tusks is used to dig in the ground and uncover salts and other minerals that are vitalto their diets.

Last not but least, the elephant ears. We knows that the elephant lives in a very hot conditions which need to be able to cool themselves down but they do not have the sweat glands. And so, the elephant will flap their large ears to help themselves to cool the blood in their capillaries and distribute the cooler blood through their bodies. By then , their blood temperature can be lowered by more than 10 degrees Fahrenheit. This is effective for both types of elephants although Asian elephants have smaller ears than the African elephants. 

 

Secondly, we should not sell or buy or even wear ivory. Ivory has traditionally been used worldwide for jewelry, billiard balls, pool cues, dominos, fans, piano keys and carved trinkets. We shouldn't buy or purchased any ivory things or support this activity.

Thirdly, since we know that coffee and timber crops are often grown in plantations that destroy the elephant habitats which is the reason for the destruction of rain forests (Amelia, 2015). We should buy the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) which is being certified timber and certified fair trade coffee.

Next, we should also be aware of the plight of captive elephants in our area. Zoos and circuses have offered elephants a life of basically indentured servitude. For example the Asian elephants Billy, Tina, and Jewel are not healthy, happy or thriving at Los Angeles Zoo, when the zoo forbidding the use of bull hooks and electric shocks to control or train the animals (John, 2012). By then, we should boycotting any circuses that uses animals and also boycotting zoos that offer insufficient space to allow elephant to live in social group and where the management style doesn't allow them to be in control of their own lives. We should immediately report this thing to the any Department of Wildlife around us so that they can take further action on that particular zoos or circuses.

Thus, the most important thing to be done is that supporting to tighten the security to prevent poaching. Malaysian government should tighten the security for the elephants in Malaysia to prevent any poaching activity in our country to save our beloved elephants. 

Other than that, we should also get more professional guiders to help out in the safe and preserve mission so that it is easier to catch the wild elephant who are in danger or hurt. This is because it is not easy to catch an elephant just like that. And it takes a lot of hard work from the professional guiders to deal with the elephants.

As a conclusion, we shouldn't buy any ivory, support organizations working to stop the illegal ivory trade, spread awareness about the endangered species of elephant by using Instagram, Facebook, or any other social media. Other than that, we can also donate any amount of money to any organization tu support them because all the activity to catch elephant is not free and have a lot of costs and we also should report to the Department of Wildlife if there is any illegal activity hunting for the elephant near us. We should also preserve the forest so that elephant can live in an open area.
