"Endangered" means a species is considered in danger of extinction throughout all or a significant portion of its range, and "threatened" means a species is considered in danger of becoming endangered. This protection prohibits elephant parts and products from being imported into the United States except under certain conditions. In addition, elephants are protected under the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES), an agreement among more than 120 nations to eliminate illegal trade in animals and plants, such as elephants, and their parts and associated products. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is the federal agency responsible for the U.S. government's compliance with the CITES treaty.

A SchoolWorld Internet Education Project Endangered/Threatened Species Report Submitted by Jacqueline Beaconsfield Primary School Beaconsfield, Tasmania, Australia Elephant Elephant Source Unknown Photographer Unknown Elephant Source Unknown Photographer Unknown Description: A grown-up Ceylon elephant is three metres tall. The Ceylon elephants have small round ears and tusks that are hollow at the base. An elephant's trunk can pick up small things and they wrap their trunk around larger things. It has legs that are long but well built. The Ceylon elephant is an Asian elephant. It lives on the island of Sir Lanka. The island used to be called Ceylon. The Ceylon elephants live in thick forests. They love to wallow in mud holes and bath in streams. The older male Ceylon elephants normally live by themselves. The females stay in herds and live with their young ones, sometimes, a few young males are in the group. The oldest female elephant in the group is normally the leader. The herds normally have ten to twenty in them. The Ceylon elephant spends eighteen hours eating a day. Elephants are vegetarians and they eat mostly grasses, small branches and twigs, foliage, vines, leaves, fruit and the tender shoots of plants. It curls it's trunk around the food and the it tucks it's trunk under and putts it into it's mouth. An elephant has four teeth, that are replaced six times. Once the last tooth has worn down the elephant can no longer eat so it dies of starvation usually between the ages of 50 and 60 years. Elephants eat a lot of food because their body is so large. An elephant is made up of about 70per cent of water.
