Friday is World Elephant Day, a day meant to bring attention to the plight of Asian and African elephants. Poaching, habitat loss, and human-elephant conflict are all obstacles that wild elephants face, but what can we do to protect them?
Join us at 10:00 am PT/1 pm ET tomorrow (August 11th) on our Africa Cam for a live broadcast with Paula Kahumbu, Executive Director of WildlifeDirect and leader of the Hands Off Our Elephants campaign. One of Kenya’s most influential conservation voices, Paula believes that the country’s experience and historical knowledge of elephants places it in a leading role in the global effort to save the species from extinction. You’ll have a chance to submit your elephant and conservation-related questions during the chat, and Paula will answer them in real-time from Mpala Research Centre in Kenya. Hope to see you there!
