World Elephant Day 2021

They present an awareness which is uncanny and those tame individuals with whom I have interacted over the years seem to remember me from past encounters to my amazement.
World Elephant Day is a world wide event held each August 12 to promote the preservation and protection of the world's elephants.
Founded by one Patricia Sims and Michael Clark of Canazwest Pictures as well as Sivaporn Dardarananda, Secretary-General of the Elephant Reintroduction Foundation in Thailand the observance was initiated August 12, 2012.
World Elephant Day is recognized by over 100 wildlife organizations and individuals worldwide.
The day brings to light the urgent plight of African and Asian elephants because african elephants are listed as "Vulnerable" and Asian elephants as "Endangered" by conservationists.
So whatever your spin on this observation on nature the elephant is deserving of our consideration and certainly should be protected from poachers and others who would do them harm.
