For centuries, elephants have played a big role in the world's economies, culture and religion. The African elephant used to be found all over Africa and the Asian elephant moved from Syria to China to Indonesia. Nowadays, elephants are found in small groups in the south of the Sahara Desert and scarcely in Southeast Asia, Sri Lanka and India.

In the early twentieth century, there were close to ten million elephants, and now the elephant number is as low as 252,000 and expected to drop down to 160,000 by 2025. Between 2007 and 2014, the elephant population fell by at least 30%, or 144,000 elephants. As researchers have traveled over the African plains, they only spotted one herd of 36 elephants in an area like the size of Mexico. It is clear that these gentle mammals are disappearing right before our eyes.

There are many reasons why the elephant population has been decreasing, one of which is their habitat. Humans are competing with elephants for living space, and as more and more humans clear the land that is being used by elephants, the elephants have less space. Elephant hunting or "poaching" has been a major factor for the disappearance of this species, and they are killed only for their valuable ivory tusks. Although the trade of tusks is illegal, it is still a common practice in many places.

Often, all the local people living among elephants would be farmers, and found that they could make more money by selling the tusks of one elephant, than doing manual labor for twelve years. That alone makes it really hard to prevent them from killing the elephants.

Some places such as Botswana, have put in extra effort to protect their wildlife from poachers by founding their Botswana Defense Force, which is made up of around 700 specially-trained soldiers that are stationed in 40 different areas.

1．For a sight of an evolving technology that promises to shake video gaming to its foundation，check out"Throw Trucks With Your Mind"．
Unlike most video games，it doesn't rely solely on a mouse．Instead，its players also put on a headset that enables them to throw trucks or other virtual objects simply by thinking．
And that's just for starters．Advocates of so-called neurogaming（交感神经游戏）say the concept in a few years will combine a wide variety of physiological factors，from a player's heart rate and hand gestures to pupil dilation（瞳孔扩张） and emotions．Moreover，they imagine many such games being developed to improve the health，brainpower and skills of those playing them．
The electroencephalography（脑电波仪），or EEG，headset used to throw trucks and other objects onto enemies was made by San Jose，California．-based NeuroSky．It measures separate brainwave frequencies that reflect how focused the player is and how calm they are，according to Lat Ware of Emeryville，California．，who developed the game．The game，which can be purchased at www．throwtrucks．com，costs 25，or99with the headset．
Ware，29，said it's possible to move a pear or other small virtual object if the player is calm，but not focused，or vice versa．But he said both mental states are essential to flatten an enemy with a huge truck，which takes considerable concentration．
Although only a few neurogames have been introduced so far and their action tends to be fairly limited，the games are expected to become far more challenging-and multipurpose-as the software and related technology improves．
One concept being explored is to develop games that adjust their action according to the player's changing emotions．These are measured by such factors as their facial expressions，eye movement and skin-conductance（皮肤导电） levels．Another approach is to make games that influence how the player thinks and feels．
Consider Los Angeles-based Melon，which，like"Throw Trucks With Your Mind，"was recently launched via the online fundraising site Kickstarter．Melon officials say their first game--which challenges players to fold origami（折纸） with their mind，using NeuroSky's EEG headset--helps people"learn how to focus，relax and meditate better．"
