| World Elephant Day - August 12 |
World Elephant Day is an International Annual Event on August 12, dedicated to the preservation and protection of the World's Elephants.
The goal of the International Elephant Day is to create awareness of the urgent plight of African and Asian elephants, and to share knowledge and positive solutions for the better care and management of captive and wild elephants.
African elephants are listed as "Vulnerable" and Asian elephants as "Endangered" on the IUCN Red List of threatened species.
The First International Elephant Day was held on 12th August 2012. The Film Return to the forest narrated by William Shatner is about the reintroduction of captive Asian Elephants to the wild and was released on the inaugural World Elephant Day
