World Elephant Day raises awareness about the conservation of elephants. Its purpose is to spread the issues related to elephants and their solutions to as many people as possible.
World Elephant Day has been celebrated every year on this day since 2012. It was founded by Patricia Sims from Canada and the Elephant Reintroduction Foundation from Thailand.
World Elephant Day has completed almost a decade. Along with various global organizations, Patricia Sims has worked to raise awareness about the problems faced by elephants and their solutions. In November 2015, she established the World Elephant Society, which provides information on elephant conservation worldwide through media, curriculum, and websites.
The global recognition of Elephant Day itself is a symbol of our sensitivity towards this issue. This effort becomes even more meaningful when many organizations, policymakers, and governments around the world work together in the same direction to address these issues.
These global efforts not only raise awareness about wildlife conservation but also increase the possibilities of controlling illegal poaching.
