They are pleasant, they are intelligent, and they are loved by people worldwide. Yes, these are the largest land animals “the elephants”. Unfortunately, these majestic creatures have to face several threats to their survival.
The ivory trade is one of the significant risks associated with these magnificent creatures. However, some other issues like loss of habitat, human-elephant conflict, mistreatment in captivity, etc. also show the plight of elephants.
World elephant day (WED) was started to draw people’s attention to protecting the elephants. Therefore, this international day provides us with an opportunity to raise awareness about the danger these animals are facing and what can be the solution to overcome this situation.
