It's estimated that 35 000 elephants were killed in East Africa this year. In the last couple of months the elephant poaching epidemic has hit South Africa. We as a community have the influence to reduce demand for ivory. Without demand there is no pressure on these species who have shared our planet with us for 1000s of years. Let's own the issue together and take control back. Please share on your own platforms, #savewildlife Ivory Trade, Save Wildlife, Our Planet, East Africa, Epidemic, Species, Platforms, Olds
