Excited to unwrap one of our blanket-clad babies later, as we celebrate World Elephant Day.

Heading up the 'blanket brigade,' this little orphan's rescue has afforded him a second chance at life.

Now he needs our support on his long journey back to the wild. Stay Tuned.

History of World Elephant Day

On 12 August 2012, Patricia Sims, a Canadian, and the Elephant Reintroduction Foundation of Thailand, an initiative of HM Queen Sirikit of Thailand, co-founded World Elephant Day.

Patricia Sims has continued to oversee World Elephant Day ever since.

It has partnered with 100 elephant conservation organisations globally since its beginning and has reached countless people all over the world.

The fact that World Elephant Day has garnered millions of participants worldwide demonstrates how much people care about elephants and want to do anything they can to save them.

World Elephant Day is a day where organizations and individuals can rally together to give a voice to the issues threatening elephants.

This powerful, collective global movement offers a way to establish and endorse conservation solutions to make the world a safer place for elephants and their habitats so future generations can appreciate them.

Let’s combine all our efforts on August 12 for World Elephant Day to help preserve and safeguard elephants from the multiple threats they face.

For #WorldElephantDay 🐘:

Elephant masks Blue cotton cloth, colored beads Red cotton cloth, glass beads Bamiléké people (Cameroon) Field Museum 174137, 174140

Sign text:

“Elephants were royal animals

Members of secret societies- exclusive groups of men charged with maintaining the peace and safety of the kingdom - wore these elephant masks during rituals. Notice the circles that make the elephants' ears and the fancy beadwork that creates their long, flat trunks.

Images of elephants represented royalty in the sacred or precious objects of Grassfields peoples, as well as in many other African kingdoms. Grassfields kings, or fon, adopted the elephant as one of their royal animals. Objects made from elephant hide or from ivory were always reserved for fon.”

Today, August 12, is World Elephant Day, a day to call for the protection of elephants around the world. Elephants are divided into three species: the African elephant and the Malumi elephant, which live on the African continent, and the Asian elephant, which lives in Southeast Asia. The stamp is "Fumi no Hi" (issued in 1987) and shows a child elephant offering a letter.

今日8月12日は「世界ゾウの日」で、世界中でゾウの保護を呼びかける日です。 ゾウは、アフリカ大陸に生息するアフリカゾウとマルミミゾウ、東南アジアに生息するアジアゾウの3種に分けられます。切手は「ふみの日」(1987年発行)で、手紙を差し出すゾウの子供です。
