World Elephant Day 2022

World Elephant Day 2022 August 12th

Here at Babipur we love elephants, you've seen our logo right?  World Elephant Day is a chance to raise awareness of the plight of African and Asian elephants. 

"Elephants cannot be manufactured. Once they’re gone, they cannot be replaced.”

—Dr. Iain Douglas-Hamilton, DPhil, CBE, Founder and CEO of Save the Elephants

Following population declines over several decades due to poaching for ivory and loss of habitat, the African forest elephant (Loxodonta cyclotis) is now listed as Critically Endangered and the African savanna elephant (Loxodonta africana) as Endangered on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species™.
