You are never too old to become a wild elephant again.
Good luck, Charley!

Vital Impacts, Wildlife Non-profit
Attention UNC grads and wildlife lovers: NatGeo photographer Ami Vitale, who was at UNC with me and is an acquaintance of mine (same major, both in the International Student Group), has started a non-profit. Here’s some info on it, shared with her permission.
Check it out; it’s a very cool.
***** VITAL IMPACTS I am excited and honored to announce a new non-profit I've created called Vital Impacts. Its mission is to support grass roots organizations working to protect endangered habitats and the storytellers who amplify these critical stories.
The first initiative will be a fine-art print sale featuring a hundred renowned photographers from around the world. The photographs from all the artists in this initiative are diverse but the one thing they all have in common is a shared commitment to the environment.
Dr. Jane Goodall DBE, the world's foremost expert on chimpanzees, has also contributed prints, including a self portrait, as well as two other images showing the remarkable lives of chimpanzees that she has been working to protect for over 60 years.
We are also minimizing our environmental impact by offsetting our emissions, to become carbon neutral.
It’s my pleasure to invite you to a very special art preview of these extraordinary photographers and storytellers who I’ve admired for many years. The preview begins today through Tuesday, October 26th. The sale runs until Dec. 31, 2021.
We will be supporting Big Life Foundation, Jane Goodall Institute's Roots and Shoots program, Great Plains Conservation's Project Ranger and Sea Legacy.
If you are interested in limited edition works, I recommend that you look soon. We do expect them to sell quickly.
VitalImpacts.org
Password: forest
The site will be available to the wider public from Tuesday, Oct. 26. At that point, the password will be removed.
We would be grateful if you can share this campaign with everyone you think would be interested. On behalf of all the organizations involved, I want to sincerely thank you for your interest and support!

Love is eternal and neverending. That is all I can think to say when a herd goes down trying to save one of their babies.

They can sense low-frequency rumbles that human ears can't sense, allowing them to pick up when a storm is coming. This video is taken from the BBC Earth series Super Senses.

Wildlife Officials rescue baby elephant from a ditch. Elephant herd salutes the men before leaving In Kerala, India, a baby elephant falls into a ditch (or an abandoned well) and gets trapped there. As the family of wild elephants watches and waits on the other side of the river, local people and forest officials use an earthmover to help the baby get out. Watch when they come running and welcoming the baby, checking whether it is fine. The incredible moment then occurs when the elephant family head turns and salutes the humans, thanking them for saving their little one.
