An important part of world history is the story of communication. In prehistoric
times, for example, people did not have books. They did not know much about
geography. People were limited. They knew only about themselves and their
environment (the land around their homes). Their knowledge of geographical things
like mountains and rivers was limited. They did not travel very far. Sometimes they
knew about nearby people and communicated with them. They sent messages in simple

ways. Early signals for communication included smoke from fires and sounds of drums.
Then people formed towns, and then cities, as safe places to live. Soon they
began to develop other ways to communicate, to spread information. People began to
buy and sell things to one another. Because of their business, they developed writing
systems to keep records and to send messages. Life was changing for many people.
Business caused changes, and so did the invention of the printing press. Many more
people learned to read then.
Suddenly communication and knowledge improved greatly. People sent letters
and news by horse and carriage. Later the mail went by train and then by airplane.
World communication is now a possibility.

Over the last 20 years, people have studied elephants and how they live.
Consequently, we are beginning to understand these fascinating giant creatures.

Unfortunately, their numbers are quickly decreasing. People are killing elephants to
make money by selling their tusks. An elephant’s tusks are made of ivory. People use
ivory to make bracelets, rings, and other ornaments. Illegal hunters are killing many
elephants for their valuable ivory. In 1975, there were about 1.5 million African
elephants. Now there are fewer than 600.000. As a result, people are worried that they
may become extinct. Some countries are trying to stop the killing of so many elephants.

They are making laws to protect elephants.
Many people travel to Africa to see its beautiful countryside and its unusual
animals. In fact, tourism is important to the economy of many African countries.
Elephants are a part of the tourist attraction. With cooperation among countries around
the world, elephants may continue to live, so that everyone can see these fascinating
giants of the Earth.
