World Elephant Day is celebrated annually to raise awareness about the plight of elephants and to promote their conservation. The day was established in 2011 by the Elephant Reintroduction Foundation and Canadian filmmakers Patricia Sims and Michael Clark. India plays an important role in World Elephant Day as it is home to the largest population of Asian elephants in the world. Elephants have been revered in Indian culture for centuries and are deeply ingrained in the country’s customs and traditions. However, India’s elephants are facing numerous challenges, such as habitat loss, poaching, and human-elephant conflict. On World Elephant Day in India, various events and campaigns are organized to draw attention to the issues faced by elephants and to promote their protection. These may include seminars, awareness campaigns, and conservation efforts in elephant habitats. The efforts are aimed at encouraging people to value and conserve elephants, and to work towards ensuring their survival for future generations. World Elephant Day is observed annually on August 12th. Top Tweets for World Elephant Day -
