Happy 90th Birthday to the remarkable Dr. Jane Goodall & the Jane Goodall Institute ❤️

Jane, we want to thank you for standing up for elephants & for speaking out against the trophy hunting of the Amboseli elephants. We remain in awe of your unwavering dedication & boundless passion for all creatures.

URGENT: Distressing news has reached us: another elephant hunt has commenced in Tanzania targeting Amboseli's elephants. The Governor of Kajiado County, Kenya has voiced his concern. We now urge Kenya’s other leaders & people to urgently speak out & put an end to the killing.

The hunting of these beautiful individuals not only undermines conservation efforts but also disrupt the delicate social fabric of elephant society.

We've spent the last 48 hours writing letters to relevant authorities, speaking with the press, and engaging in urgent discussions with several of our partners. The political landscape surrounding the trophy hunting in the cross-border region is sensitive. See our IG post below.

We have received reports that another male elephant from the Amboseli ecosystem has been shot by trophy hunters just across the border in Tanzania. If this is correct it will be the third elephant from the Amboseli population killed by trophy hunters in the past few months.

At @ElephantVoices, every day is World Wildlife Day - but today, in particular, is a day to celebrate and champion all creatures great and small. ❤
