Last month, EnviroNews World News published an article titled, “Tanzania’s Elephant Bloodbath — Sand Runs Red as 2/3 of Population Killed by Ivory Raiders in 5 Yrs.” The piece exposes a critical situation in what was once the world’s largest stronghold for the African elephant, wherein 60% of that entire population has been mowed down by ivory raiders in 5 short years.

However, another EnviroNews story about the killing of elephants in Sri Lanka has a happy ending, when a company called Mr. Ellie Pooh stepped in to stop that country’s elephant bloodbath.

The company makes an astonishingly durable paper from elephant poop — a dropping that contains about 75% fiber — and when Ellie Pooh showed rice farmers they could make more from gathering elephant dung than they could by harvesting their rice, they stopped looking at the “mild-mannered creature” as a nuisance — and started seeing it as a source of income. Nowadays, they revere elephants as animals that sustain their lives — animals to be taken care of not killed. Money talks and dung walks.
