Today, August 12, is World Elephant Day, an internationally recognized day that was begun in 2012 to bring awareness to the crisis of poaching of African and Asian elephants. It would be a good day to donate to one of the many organizations dedicated to saving the lives of elephants and other wildlife. Here is a partial list of organizations that could use your financial assistance: sheldrickwildlifetrust.org http://www.worldwildlife.org/ http://www.pawsweb.org/ http://www.wcs.org/ http://foreverelephants.org/
