The world's smallest elephant, the Bornean elephant, is now officially endangered. A recent assessment by wildlife experts has found that human activities such as agriculture, mining, and logging on the South Asian island of Borneo have significantly contributed to the decline of the elephant population. Additional pressures from climate change, invasive species, and illicit trade are also to blame for the increasing threats to these elephants.
