A close-up of an African elephant standing in water, splashing with its trunk. The background shows a cloudy sky and distant trees. White text in the top right corner reads β12 August WORLD ELEPHANT DAY.β
Elephants are intelligent creatures that play a key role in their ecosystems by germinating plants and more.
Unfortunately, they are threatened by poaching and affected by habitat loss, along with human-wildlife conflict.
This #WorldElephantDay and every day, let's protect these majestic animals.
