About Elephant Appreciation Day
Ends: Sep 22, 2024
DESCRIPTION:
The holiday was founded by pachyderm lover Wayne Hepburn when he became so fascinated by an elephant-shaped paperweight given by his daughter.
It is a perfect day to show your love and affection to this giant animal. You can have an elephant-themed party, choose to adopt an elephant from one of many rescue organizations, or take a trip to the zoo.
A personal note from Laura:
On a trip to Kenya in 2015, I stopped at the elephant orphanage outside of Nairobi. They had approximately 15 baby elephants they brought out to eat from bottles with a bunch of ostriches. It was hilarious, and we had the opportunity to pet the baby elephants in addition to watching them.
My sister does not have any pets, but she loves elephants. In her name, I decided to foster one of the young baby elephant calves, Ziwa, from the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust. Many foster parents support each elephant with different monetary amounts, usually $50 per year, and it's a small price to pay for priceless conversation.
When people ask my sister if she has any pets, she proudly shows a picture of Ziwa and answers, "Yes, I adopted an elephant. Her name is Ziwa."
Most African and Asian nations with elephant populations have similar non-profits working to save orphaned elephants. The babies are often left to die when poachers kill their parents for their tusks. Elephants are endangered in many parts of the world. Today is a day to learn about them and possibly step up to the plate and help ensure they survive.
Happy Elephant Appreciation Day!
