World Elephant Day

Via U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service:

Happy #WorldElephantDay! Share this image with your friends to celebrate elephants and #GoGrey. 96 elephants are killed every day in Africa. You can stop it. Today, people around the globe are uniting to protect and celebrate elephants. They need our help. Increasing demand for ivory is driving African forest elephants to extinction: http://1.usa.gov/1iavN9z.

In the past decade, wildlife trafficking – the poaching or other taking of protected or managed species and the illegal trade in wildlife and their related parts and products – has escalated into an international crisis. How is the USFWS_International Affairs program combating this? Find out: http://1.usa.gov/1suxB2t

Show your support with 96 Elephants for these amazing animals and "Go Grey."
