<human>:  Can you provide me some information on the African Elephant population?
<bot>: The African elephant is the largest land mammal on Earth, and is an iconic species of the continent of Africa. According to the World Wildlife Fund, over the last 100 years their population has declined drastically. As of 2019, the African Elephant population is estimated to be around 415,000, which is significantly lower than historical numbers in the early 1900s. This is due to human activities such as poaching and habitat destruction. Conservation efforts have been taken to protect the species, however the population still remains at risk of extinction.
