LESSON 3 Living with Nature ―Takita Asuka’s Journey
Section 3 本文

Section 3
 In 2012,/about 10% of all the African elephants/were killed/just for their ivory.// In order to focus on protecting elephants,/my friend and I/founded a non-profit organization,/Tears of the African Elephant.//
 The organization aims to promote the awareness/of ivory use in Japan.// Japan had been importing a lot of ivory/until the late 1980s.// Even today,/some people buy ivory products/casually.// They might be supporting illegal hunting/without noticing it.// The key to saving elephants/is to know the facts/about ivory.//
 I love seeing the endless horizon,/the blue sky,/and white clouds/in the savanna.// Above all,/I love the energetic wild animals living there.// Therefore,/I continue working hard/to preserve African elephants/and other wildlife/in this beautiful place.//
