African elephants are often poached for their ivory tusks, and because of this, their populations have decreased 65% since the year 1980. There are currently 430,000 African elephants alive today, where in 1980, there were 1.2 million.
That's a huge difference!
Even between the year 2010-2012, 100,000 elephants were poached for their tusks.
#SAVEELEPHANTS is trying to get people involved. Best part is that it's working.
The Nature Conservancy is currently conducting a week-long auction that started on December 11, 2014.
Here are some items involved in the auction that were found on www.nature.org:
- - HD-28 Martin Guitar Signed by Dierks Bentley
- - D-28 Martin Guitar signed by the Doobie Brothers and Peter Frampton
- - LX1 Martin Guitar with custom elephant drawing by Brett Dennen
- - LX1 Martin Guitar with custom hand drawn elephant by Michael Franti
- - LX1 Martin Guitar signed by Mac Powell, Greg Bates, and Chip Esten
- - 2 signed Chuck Ragan posters
There are other ways to help out African elephants too! These websites are accepting donations towards the #SAVEELEPHANTS.
Help these beautiful creatures stay on this Earth!
