World Wildlife Conservation Day Dec 4, 2022

World Wildlife Conservation Day

We"re taking a walk with these beautiful beasts for World Wildlife Conservation Day. Tanzania"s Mount Kilimanjaro, known as the Great White Mountain to local tribes, stands sentinel as these African bush elephants cross the vast savannahs of Amboseli National Park in Kenya. Habitat loss and poaching for ivory have decimated the populations of the bush elephant and its cousin the forest elephant, which roams the nearby foothills of Kilimanjaro.
