Who knew elephant poop could be so revealing? Scientists just found out there are way more African forest elephants than we thought—over 135,000! It’s not a population boom, just better DNA tracking, but it’s a big win for conservation. These gentle giants are still critically endangered, but now we’ve got better numbers to help protect them and their forests. Proof that every little bit of data (and dung) counts! #Science #Elephants #Conservation
