One of Namibia’s most famous elephants was killed last week in what the government deemed a necessary killing, but local conservation groups are slamming the notion. The 50-year-old alpha elephant bull, popularly known as Voortrekker, was shot by a trophy hunter on a “problem elephant” permit in the Omatjete area, according to local news outlet Independent Online. #isharecauseicare #love #sharelove #kindness #elephant #iloveelephants #elephantlove #iloveanimals #wildlife #africanelephant #asianelephant #stoppoaching #stopivorytrade #extinctionisforever #animalrights #amazingcreatures #largestmammal #safari #animalsofinstagram #lovelyelephant #wildworldfriend #makeadifferencetotheworld #handinhand https://ift.tt/329OFm7

I'm a girl who loves elephants 🐘 I had been to a lot of different cities on earth but I had a dream - A dream to step into the land of South Africa to see the wildlife animals, the beauty of nature, the different culture, to watch the seasonal great migration (I love Lion King ✌️), to watch one of the best sunset in the world, to watch stars under the dark skies, to meet new friends from the other side of the world ( I'm from the east 👩🏻), to experience different culture, to meet the happy faces ( Heard from friend : African are the most grateful people she had ever met). I always believe that wildlife and wild places could enrich our spirit and our soul in a powerful way. I have learned a lot about elephants and wild life animals by creating this instagram account. I do not have the power to stop the poaching, but I wish to create awareness to people that animals need our help, together we can make a difference 🙌🏻 #isharecauseicare #love #sharelove #kindness #elephant #iloveelephants #elephantlove #iloveanimals #wildlife #africanelephant #asianelephant #stoppoaching #stopivorytrade #extinctionisforever #animalrights #amazingcreatures #largestmammal #safari #animalsofinstagram #lovelyelephant #wildworldfriend #makeadifferencetotheworld #handinhand http://ift.tt/2uJ8aUF

Despite growing human-elephant tensions in the region, a rampaging elephant, upon hearing a child cry, turned back to the home he’d just torn apart and “carefully removed every last bit of stone, brick, and mortar from the infant’s body before heading back into the forest.” #isharecauseicare #love #sharelove #kindness #elephant #iloveelephants #elephantlove #iloveanimals #wildlife #africanelephant #asianelephant #stoppoaching #stopivorytrade #extinctionisforever #animalrights #amazingcreatures #largestmammal #safari #animalsofinstagram #lovelyelephant #wildworldfriend #makeadifferencetotheworld #handinhand http://ift.tt/2pUSQOD

Elephant Facts : Unlike most mammals, which grow baby teeth and then replace them with a single permanent set of adult teeth, elephants are polyphyodonts that have cycles of tooth rotation throughout their lives. #isharecauseicare #love #sharelove #kindness #elephant #iloveelephants #elephantlove #iloveanimals #wildlife #africanelephant #asianelephant #stoppoaching #stopivorytrade #extinctionisforever #animalrights #amazingcreatures #largestmammal #safari #animalsofinstagram #lovelyelephant #wildworldfriend #makeadifferencetotheworld #handinhand http://ift.tt/2qyepJm

Phnom Penh - Eleven wild elephants, including a calf, were rescued from a mud-filled bomb crater in Cambodia on Saturday after being in the swampy waters for four days, an environmental official said. "They got in there to drink water and could not get out," Keo Sopheak, the head of the environmental office in eastern Mondulkiri province, told AFP. He said the three-meter-deep mud pit, created by a bomb during the country's civil war, was located in a protected forest area and had been enlarged by local villagers to store water. The elephants were discovered in the crater on Friday, said Keo Sopheak, with only their rounded backs and heads poking out of the mud pool. "We had to dig away the edge of the crater by hand to make a path," the official said, adding that rescuers also pumped water into the crater to thin out the sludge and help the animals climb out. The elephants lumbered back into the jungle after their rescue. "They could have died if they had not been spotted," added Keo Sopheak. #isharecauseicare #love #sharelove #kindness #elephant #iloveelephants #elephantlove #iloveanimals #wildlife #africanelephant #asianelephant #stoppoaching #stopivorytrade #extinctionisforever #animalrights #amazingcreatures #largestmammal #safari #animalsofinstagram #lovelyelephant #wildworldfriend #makeadifferencetotheworld #handinhand http://ift.tt/2nU1kID

Cuddles the elephant was Australia’s last surviving African elephant. Thought to be about 46 years old, she was euthanised today following an age-related illness. “Cuddles was a well known resident of the zoo and much loved by staff, volunteers and visitors alike,” the zoo said in a statement. “We are all mourning the loss of this beautiful animal.” Over the past week however, her health began to fail following digestive complications.

I created this instagram account and I hope to raise awareness because most of us human being living in the city do not have the informations that what is happening on the other side on earth, especially rhinos and elephants .... I just saw a news that rhinos in the French zoo being killed by the ruthless poachers and now the Czech zoo announce that they will use a chainsaw to remove the horns of rhinos in their zoo to protect them from poachers!!!! In the black market, it cost 56400 euro per kg, I don't know what human are going to do with the horns, it is made of keratin, the same type of protein that makes up hair and fingernails, most of them just put at their home to represent their wealthiness.....Poor rhinos, I can't blame the poachers because there must be the true criminals who is powerful hiring poacher to do this....Education is important too, when surveyed 70% of Chinese people didn’t realise rhinos and elephants had to be killed for their horns/tusks. They were told elephants tusks/rhino horns fell out naturally and grew back like fingernails. Yes, I am so mad and I teared when I read the news......We should stand together hand in hand to stop this!!!! 😡😡😡😭😭😭 #rhino #zoo #frenchzoo #poachers #stopkilling #greedyhuman #saverhinos #stopthekilling #saveanimals #loveanimal #loveanimals #animalsneedyou #handinhand #savetheworld #peace #animalslover #stopthepoaching #stopivorytrade http://ift.tt/2m3URuD

China, the world's largest market for ivory, announced this week that it will shut down its trade in such goods by the end of 2017. This will close down the world's largest commercial ivory market, and could help elephant populations stabilize and recover in Africa. The decision to close down its domestic commercial elephant ivory trade is being hailed as a potentially transformative step toward protecting Africa's elephants, which are being slaughtered for their valuable tusks that are made of ivory. #isharecauseicare #love #sharelove #kindness #elephant #iloveelephants #elephantlove #iloveanimals #wildlife #africanelephant #asianelephant #stoppoaching #stopivorytrade #extinctionisforever #animalrights #amazingcreatures #largestmammal #safari #animalsofinstagram #lovelyelephant #wildworldfriend #makeadifferencetotheworld #handinhand http://ift.tt/2jDLyjt
