Add the African Forest Elephant (the most endangered Elephant) to Minecraft

The African Forest Elephant is the most endangered Elephant species in the world. Adding them to Minecraft will not only raise awareness for these Elephants but they would add more diversity to the Savanna biome. These Elephants can be found reaching for the leaves of Savanna trees and wandering around the Savanna plains. If a Savanna forest biome can also be added then African Forest Elephants can live here too. This would represent their home in the real world. African Forest Elephants are shy creatures and, because they are endangered in real life, they would not appear very frequently in the Minecraft world. To make a baby, you would have to feed 2 Elephants with leave blocks. To make the Minecraft community more aware of the killing of Elephants for their tusks, you can sometimes find Elephant skulls dotted around Savannas. These skulls will have no tusks. Pillagers hunt and fight these Elephants too. If you are unfortunate enough to see an Elephant spawn near a Pillager Outpost then the Pillagers will come racing out to kill the Elephant. The African Forest Elephant will not be rideable and they do not drop anything on death

    The reason why I made this suggestion is to create more awareness for animals, like the African Forest Elephant, that are endangered because of poaching. I have suggested for these animals to not be ridden because, in reality, they are wild by nature. They are endangered. You don’t see anyone riding endangered animals in real life. They may not necessarily be ‘useful’ in the game but having these animals in a popular game like Minecraft where you can experience them being threatened, potentially by Pillagers, may help people understand what is happening to them. That is definitely useful for those trying to prevent African Forest Elephants from becoming extinct
