In October 2015, Prince William gave a moving speech on CCTV:"In the 33 years since I was born, we've lost around 70 percent of Africa's elephant population. Of those that are left, 20,000 are killed every year. That is 54 elephants killed every single day." That means there are elephants which are being killed right now! In his speech, Prince William also praised China's efforts to protect wildlife:"I am absolutely convinced that China can become a global leader in the protection of wildlife."
