Elephants 🐘 are vital to our ecosystems — yet their populations face growing threats from poaching, habitat loss and human-wildlife conflict.

Wednesday’s #WorldElephantDay is an opportunity to honour these iconic animals, raise awareness of the critical threats they face, and support solutions that can help ensure their survival.

Here are some actions you can take to help protect elephants:

🔹 Get informed about the status of wildlife and the wildlife trade.
🔹 Don’t buy or invest in ivory.
🔹 Support companies that demonstrate sustainable supply chains and environmentally responsible practices.
🔹 Spread the word and encourage others to learn more about the threats elephants face.
