What's happening in Lake #Nakuru? #Elephant numbers have dropped massively from #poaching and #deforestation. @WinnieCheche: "We need more people to get into #wildlife #conservation to fight for their survival!" #Boycott4Wildlife @palmoildetectives@mastodonapp.uk 🐘🐘 🩶

📍 Jalpaiguri, Bengal A baby elephant was swept away from its mother while trying to cross the swollen Teesta River in India. Fishermen spotted its trunk above the water and chased it for nearly 4 km against the powerful current before pulling the exhausted calf to safety. Then, after a two-hour search, they found the mother. She rushed to her baby, took it back and began nursing it.

One of the four rather beautiful golden elephant heads in the Citizens Theatre in Glasgow. They were originally part of the auditorium of the neighbouring Palace Theatre which was designed in an Indian style by Bertie Crewe (one of the UK's leading theatre architects who also designed the city's Pavilion Theatre) in 1904.

[Commentary] While headlines suggest elephant poaching is declining, organized crime continues to drive the illegal ivory trade. In a new op-ed, Mary Rice, executive director of the Environmental Investigation Agency, warns that news-making seizures mask a persistent crisis centered in southern Africa. https://mongabay.cc/sBU4Pz#Elephant #Mongabay

Although he has killed other, non-related humans as well, he clearly did track specifically this family and killed several of them, so he clearly has beef with this family. I googled the story but couldn't find his side, but could it be that they're the cause of his shortened tusks? #elephant #animalrights

Most of our sense of taste is in the nose So us humans eat with our nose Animals too of course #Elephants take the concept of eating with their nose a little too far though 🤭 #Elephant

Corridors, not culls, offer solution to Southern #Africa’s growing #elephant population

by Ryan Truscott, 11 Dec 2025

"Situated in the northwestern corner of the #SobbeWildlifeConservancy, in #Namibia’s long, narrow #Zambezi region, the #SobbeCorridor provides a link for elephants moving between #Botswana, #Zambia and #Angola."

Key points:

• Elephant populations in Southern Africa are stable or growing, but the space available for them is not.
• Often, elephant populations are constrained, increasing their impact on the environment or surrounding communities, and triggering calls for controversial solutions, like culls or contraception.
• But studies in a region that hosts 50% of Africa’s remaining savanna elephants (Loxodonta africana) show how the animals make use of wildlife corridors to move between protected areas and neighboring countries.
• Encouraging elephants to migrate can help relieve overpopulation in some areas, but any corridor invariably intersects with human communities, making it both vital ecological infrastructure and a social challenge.
