🇨🇦 Canada banned the import & export of raw elephant ivory and rhino horn in 2024 after 700,000+ Canadians spoke up.
Then this spring, 479 rhino horns were pointed toward Ontario.

🐘 What if we were more like elephants?
Our 2025 campaign explored the qualities of elephants; from their social bonds and cooperation to their empathy, memory and care for their families. This year, Be More Like Elephants builds on that message by challenging us to put those qualities into practice.
