Five Social Media Accounts to Follow This World Elephant Day!
Happy World Elephant Day! World Elephant Day is a holiday I am so excited to write about each year, and I absolutely love spotlighting these majestic, beautiful creatures. In case you missed my last posts in 2019, and 2020, you can check them out using the hyperlinks!
This year, I'm highlighting five social media accounts you should be following this World Elephant Day. These accounts can help you educate yourself on the various ways elephants are being threatened in the wild, while also learning more and retweeting. These may be organizations that are specific to World Elephant Day or have posts that bring up important issues. With each account will also be reasons to follow them and why I like these accounts.

According to their website, "...the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust (SWT) operates the most successful orphan elephant rescue and rehabilitation program in the world."

5) National Geographic
Social Media Handle:
@NatGeo
Why Should You Follow Them?
Though I know National Geographic isn't centered around elephants alone, their posts help educate people and spread awareness for elephants. They have a Twitter thread here that shares some interesting facts on elephants, and included an article on how some elephants are falling in the trenches of tea plantations. Read more here.
I hope you'll consider following these social media accounts, and taking time to learn about elephants and how we can help save their numbers! And of course, you can find me @BookishElephant as well ;)
