Dear Elephants:
World Wildlife Day 2024 is upon us once again. This year’s theme is
“Connecting People and Planet: Exploring Digital Innovation in Wildlife Conservation”.
Our commitment is forever to you, our elephants.
There have been advancements in elephant conservation due to the use of drones which locate poachers intent on annihilating you, our elephants, due to their greed for the ivory that makes up your tusks. Ivory tusks that belong to you, and only you, our elephants.
Drones have also located your herds in protected areas to keep wildlife conservationists informed of your safety and even used to rescue lost members of your elephant family when one of your baby elephants has had to be left behind.
We remain forever hopeful that as people and the planet become more connected more solutions will be found to bring harmony to man and nature. You, our elephants, who once ruled our great earth, (5) must be free to live.

For there cannot be a world without you. There cannot be a world without elephants.
Sincerely
your humble servant,
Savannah Crisp
