Today, on Endangered Species Day, we unite in a collective effort for conservation. Every third Friday in May, we pay close attention to animals and plants. The Endangered Species Coalition founded the event in 2006 with the goal of actively working for the survival of endangered species. Currently, there are over 44,000 species threatened with extinction. Among the world's most endangered animals are the Javan and black rhinos, the mountains gorillas and the Hawksbill turtles.

Today, let us take you to the Tarangire National Park in Tanzania, where African elephants roam freely. These gentle giants are characterised by their large, flapping ears, long trunks and curved tusks. They live in small family groups led by a matriarch and communicate through low-frequency sound waves. Unfortunately, threats like habitat loss and poaching have left them on the brink of extinction. So, let's commit to the lives we can still save and join voices with Earth's cry for help, for in their survival, we find our own.
