Today, there are about half as many wild elephants in the world then there were in 1980, down from about 1.2 million to around 600,000. These amazing animals are cornerstone animals to their ecosystems and habitats.

Botswana is home to Africa’s largest elephant population but the country’s leadership has caved to agricultural interests in lifting its ban on hunting elephants.

Consider adding your name to a growing petition to ask Botswana to restore the ban on hunting elephants 👉 https://theanimalrescuesite.greatergood.com/clicktogive/ars/petition/botswana-elephant-hunting
