Danai Gurira Instagram – Did you know that an estimated 100 African elephants are killed each day by poachers seeking ivory, meat and body parts? And as of 2025, there are thought to be around 415,000 African elephants left in the wild? This marks a decline of around 111,000 elephants since 2006.
#WorldElephantDay aims to raise awareness and educate the world about the threats elephants face and organizations like the @maraelephantproject are doing incredible work to protect elephants and their habitats across the Greater Mara Ecosystem.
Elephants are incredible mammals and some of the most exhilarating moments of my life have been in their presence. Learn more about how you can support these majestic creatures on this #WorldElephantDay by visiting http://worldelephantday.org | Posted on 13/Aug/2025 02:16:26
