Today is #WorldElephantDay and we are pleased to announce that since we followed our friends at @ElephantswithoutBorders (EWB) on Instagram in July, when we were celebrating the environment, you and our friend @TheEllenFund (@TheEllenShow) have spread the word and EWB have been able to help protect 25 elephants by fitting them with satellite navigation collars!
These collars allow the team at EWB to track the elephants, as well as to learn their essential migratory patterns to keep their corridors safe and open so future generations of elephants can roam freely. In honour of this amazing support, EWB have named their most recently collared Elephant...ELLEN! We can’t wait to see where she will go! 🐘
Two years ago on World Elephant Day, The Duke and Duchess of Sussex joined Dr Chase to help in this conservation effort. Below, a few words from Mike and his partner Kelly at EWB:
•
‘Today is a day to honor and celebrate the majestic elephant and to make a strong stand for conserving and protecting one of the world’s most beloved animals. elephants are intelligent, sentient beings capable of emotions from joy to grief. They are ‘environmental engineers,’ a key-stone umbrella species, and the fight to save them is in effect, a fight to save entire ecosystems and all wildlife.
Today elephants are facing many challenges; habitat loss and competition for resources creates conflict with humans, climate change and fires destroy much needed resources and poaching for the demand of ivory makes elephants bigger targets than ever.
African elephants are especially prone to human-wildlife conflict because of their large home ranges. Finding, preserving and creating elephant corridors is therefore of great importance in helping to maintain habitats suitable for movement and minimising human-elephant conflict. Corridors are a mitigation technique to better the livelihoods of local communities and the elephants themselves, by providing environment and ample space for wildlife to navigate from one habitat patch to another, without affecting the livelihoods of communities.’

According to Carbon Positive Life a single tree can absorb as much as 48 lbs (21.77 kgs) of CO2 per year, meaning it would take 321 years to absorb seven tonnes. He added: 'The two aren't equivalent. If you've got big puffs of CO2 which come out almost instantaneously, yes over years and years it gets slowly absorbed but over those years it's been warming the planet.
'The tendency is to ignore the fact there's a timelag in the amount being absorbed.' However carbon offset schemes have criticised, including by noted environmental journalist George Monbiot who has compared them to the medieval Catholic church's sale of 'indulgences' whereby wealthy parishioners could have their sins absolved for a price - and thus be free to sin again.
Dr Doug Parr, chief scientist at Greenpeace, said: 'These are good schemes, and they have positive outcomes, but they are things we should be doing anyway.
'But they're not taking out CO2.

Save The Elephants! The Trump Administration in 2018 quietly lifted the blanket Obama ban on importing trophies of sport-hunted elephants to permit imports on a "case by case" basis, without disclosing the criteria for those decisions. As the result of a court case, Fish & Wildlife said they are withdrawing several previous Endangered Species Act findings. It did not announce the move to the press. Some activists claim that the Trump Admin. Is trying to keep crucial case-by-case decision making behind closed doors. Fish & Wildlife would not comment or clarify the criteria, citing ongoing litigation. Please Help Stop Animal Suffering! Write to your representatives, volunteer, protest....Be the Voice of Animals who have none!

PLEASE HELP !!!!! @sussexroyal
THE WORLD ELEPHANT DAY FIASCO AT THE JOHANNNESBURG ZOO
So now #JhbZoo resorts to #lies to do damage control?
1. Ramadiba and Mopani did NOT come from a sanctuary. They came from Inkwenkwezi, where they were used to entertain humans.
2. Sanctuaries don’t sell or train animals.
3. Both elephants were caught in the wild and trained by Rory Hensman. Look this up and you will be shocked.
4. The zoo clearly does not its elephants: so who was doing the tricks, Mopani or Ramadiba?
5. The elephant was INSTRUCTED to do the tricks, it was not free will.
SHAME ON YOU, #JhbZoo, for lying to make yourself look better! #JhbCircus is what you should be called!

I had the privilage of visiting an elephant sanctuary in Thailand this past April, and these conservationist truly love these animals and treat them like family. They were rescued from circuses, logging camps and tourist riding tours. The sanctuaries are basically retirement homes for them. They are seriously the most amazing animals I've ever seen! I absolutely love the conservationist spirit that you both share, and I hope it inspires more people to learn about elephants💕

Interesting that this site finally has some negative comments on it. I don't know if the person is unavailable to erase some this week but when you read the other posts there is not any negative comments which makes me think that some risk on through and deleting them. Why not listen to the negative comments and try to make changes if it's necessary. The public pays your salary and you work for them so why not listen to the feedback

@lovesecretgarden__ that might be so, but the revenue can't be as much as what we're paying out in taxes. Our generation or the next are really going to suffer. Think, i.e the rf aren't going to worry about never getting the state pension. They're not having to scrape by each day for a living in stressful jobs. Not saying that we should cut spending on the rf out completely, that it needs to be reduced a lot.
