Global March For Elephants And Rhinos – 2017
It All Started On October 4, 2013
Global March For Elephants And Rhinos – 2017 – The First Global March For Elephants and Against Ivory was held on October 4, 2o13 in 42 cities around the world. It was a resounding success in terms of creating awareness but the need for protecting elephants and rhinos is as urgent today as it was in 2013.
Human greed, corruption, ignorance and a disgusting lack of political will are responsible for the ongoing slaughter. However, much has been accomplished and the movement has grown dramatically. On Saturday October 7, 2017 concerned global citizens will once again march on the streets for elephants and rhinos – this time on 6 continents. I’m sure that Antartica will be with the marchers in spirit. Thank you to the dedicated organizers and to every marcher who participates.
This is who we will march for – and make no mistake – they cannot survive without us!
