Hello! I loved your article. I've only been here for a couple of months myself so I am not really qualified to comment on it from the point of view of an experienced Wizzley writer. I was getting a bit worried because no one's answered you for ages - so I thought I'd poke my oar in!
I thought it was very sincerely written - lovely illustrations and it obviously comes from the heart. I notice that the sentence that comes in the first block, i.e. the summary (Our beautiful planet was once inhabited by many exotic creatures that are extinct thanks to the worldwide phenomenon of poaching growing at an alarming rate.) - is repeated in your next block, i.e. the intro.
Perhaps you don't need to repeat this sentence in the intro.
I used to have contact with elephants in the 1960s and they are beautiful, intelligent creatures. I think you've done them proud!
Kind Regards - Kathleen
