The 2016 election is the third in which ScienceDebate.org has compiled a questionnaire in an effort to get the U.S. presidential candidates to focus on never ending issues in science and engineering, from climate change to space exploration. Presidential candidates have a lot to say about politics, immigration, and social issues. There are issues to just have the presidential candidates hold a science and environment friendly debate only. Hillary Clinton’s replies are long and detailed, naming specific programs that already exist or that she would create. Donald Trump’s answers are short and ambiguous, mixed with contradictory promises to pare back government while expanding his priority programs. Hillary recognizes the biggest challenge in today's society, climate change. Where as, Trump refuses to talk deeply about it and doesn't believe that its a problem and it need to be investigated more.

Poaching has killed off 60 percent of Africa’s forest elephants since 2002, a new study showed. Research found that it take more than 20 years for female forest elephants to reproduce, but they also give birth only once every five to six years. An elephant is killed about every 15 minutes for its ivory, fueling a dangerous wildlife trafficking industry. “The slow reproductive rate as well as present poaching rates in the central African area does not bode well for forest elephants,” Andrea Turkalo of the Wildlife Conservation Society said. They are poaching these elephants quicker than they could even try to reproduce. Adding another extinct animal to our never ending list is horrible and we should make many efforts to stop contributing by killing for human needs. After these elephants are safely protected we can work on saving more endangered species due to humans. Its time for the animals to start hunting us.
