Last week I went to Chiang Mai  with my company to  have meetings and do some team building. The weather was very hot but I liked it because the air was clean and made me feel good. We visited some temples that were beautiful and some of them are built with gold. There are also many night markets that have many goods and delicious food, and many bars, which I didn’t go to because nobody wanted to accompany me. I saw that many of the bars have singers singing beautiful songs and I really like that, so If I ever have a chance to go there again, I will go to the bars.

Saving Elephants 
(www.newsinlevels.com/products/saving-elephants-level-2/)

According to the International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW), poachers kill 28,000 elephants every year worldwide. A former army officer talked about the bigger picture of poaching.

She said that people call poaching its name, but it is more like war. Somebody arms the poachers, who are connected into networks, which move the ivory and horns.

IFAW gave Kenyan rangers a smartphone app called tenBoma. They are testing it in a conservation area of 42,000 square kilometres, and the app lets the rangers see and enter data on the go. Since 2016, elephant poaching deaths were reduced by 11%.
