Dia Mirza Instagram – Yesterday was also #WorldElephantDay π
These are images shot by me of elephants in the wild. The first 3 images are of #AfricanElephants and the last 3 images are of #AsianElephants ππ
There is something so special about witnessing the maternal bond of elephants with their calves.
DYK India has the worldβs largest number of #AsianElephants in the wild?
As gardeners of the forest, elephants are a species that bring balance to our ecosystem. A healthy ecosystem means a healthy planet for people.
Elephants have a great memory, lasting generations. This is why they follow routes their ancestors followed. With a growing human population taking over their ancestral paths it is so important to ensure we find ways to give elephants their #RightOfPassage.
@wildlifetrustofindia has mapped 101 elephant corridors that need to be secured.
We have made some progress with various state governments adopting the #GajYatra and securing these corridors to ensure safe passage for our elephants.
Much more work needs to be done to protect our Elephants. You can join the movement by helping @wildlifetrustofindia ππ»ππ³
