"After the Elephants" serves as a reminder of how vulnerable life on earth really is. Human life as we know it, could be equivocated with a time in the future, when elephants become extinct. In this day and age, elephants are truly at the mercy of humans for their survival whether it be because of climate change leading to their loss of habitat or poachers. If we humans can't protect the elephants and provide a place for this proud, beautiful, and steadfast mammal to thrive, then human survival won't be far behind.
