Chelsea Clinton Worries Her Child Will Live on a ‘Planet Without Elephants’

Chelsea Clinton Fears Her Baby Could Live on a ‘Planet Without Elephants’ (ABC News)

If there is one thing Chelsea Clinton is most worried about, it may be that her soon-to-be child will grow up in a world without elephants.

Standing alongside her mother, Hillary Clinton, at the Clinton Global Initiative this afternoon, the very-pregnant former first daughter warned the plight of African elephants, killed for their ivory tusks, is an “existential” one, and said that if the current poaching rates continue, elephants could be few and far between within the next decade.

If so, this means Chelsea Clinton’s favorite animal could be something her child would never know.

“The child Marc and I are waiting to bring into this world could grow up in a planet without elephants,” Clinton cautioned, before announcing a new commitment to stop the killing of African elephants and the trafficking of ivory.
