World Elephant Day
Andreana Salvemini
On August 12, 2012, the inaugural #WorldElephantDay was launched to bring attention to the urgent plight of Asian and African elephants. The elephant is loved, revered and respected by people and cultures around the world, yet we balance on the brink of seeing the last of this magnificent creature.
The escalation of poaching, habitat loss, human-elephant conflict and mistreatment in captivity are just some of the threats to both African and Asian elephants.
World Elephant Day asks you to experience elephants in non-exploitive and sustainable environments where elephants can thrive under care and protection. Get involved by expressing your concern, and by sharing your knowledge and support solutions for the better care of captive and wild elephants alike. 🐘
