What is World Elephant Day?
Every year on March 13th, we observe Elephant Day to raise awareness about the threats facing elephants and their conservation. This important day was established in 2012 by the Wildlife Conservation Network to recognize and celebrate these magnificent creatures.
Elephants are highly intelligent animals that have complex social structures and emotions. They live in family groups, with older females often taking on the role of matriarch, leading her herd across the savanna in search of food and water. Sadly, their numbers are declining rapidly due to poaching for ivory, habitat destruction, and other human-caused threats.
