SUMMARY:World Elephant Day
DESCRIPTION:World Elephant Day was launched to bring attention to the urgent plight of Asian and African elephants.  \n\n\n\nThe elephant is loved\, revered and respected by people and cultures around the world\, yet we balance on the brink of seeing the last of this magnificent creature. \n\n\n\nFollowing population declines over several decades due to poaching for ivory and habitat loss\, the African forest elephant is listed as Critically Endangered and the African Savanna Elephant as Endangered. The IUCN has estimated the total African Elephant population at around 415\,000 individuals for both species combined as of 2016. African elephants are found in 37 countries in sub-Sahara Africa\, with an estimated 70% in Southern Africa\, 20% in Eastern Africa\, 6% in Central Africa and 3% in West Africa.  \n\n\n\nThe Asian elephant has also been listed as Endangered on the IUCN Red List since 1986. Asian elephants inhabit grasslands and tropical evergreen forests and can be found in a wide range of Asian countries including China\, Bangladesh\, Indonesia\, India\, Cambodia\, etc. The wild population of Asian Elephants was estimated at 48\,323-51\,680 individuals in 2019. \n\n\n\nThough there is an international trade ban on ivory\, huge quantities of ivory continue to be illegally smuggled to Asia through international organised crime networks.  \n\n\n\nOther major threats to both all elephant species include the ongoing conversion of their natural habitats for agriculture and other land uses. \n\n\n\nHashtag # WorldElephantDay \n\n\n\nFor more information

SUMMARY:World Orangutang Day
DESCRIPTION:International Orangutang Day is celebrated each year to recognise one of the most iconic victims of the palm oil industry.  \n\n\n\nHuman activities have caused severe declines in populations and ranges. Threats to wild orangutan populations include poaching\, habitat destruction because of palm oil cultivation\, and the illegal pet trade.  \n\n\n\nAll three orangutang species of Orangutang are listed as critically endangered on the IUCN Red list of Endangered species. Although exact population counts are difficult to ascertain\, the scientific community generally agrees that there are somewhere between 55\,000 and 65\,000 wild orangutans left. \n\n\n\nA century ago\, Orangutang lived in forests all across South-East Asia\, from southern China to Java. Today wild populations are exclusively found on the islands of Java and Sumatra in Indonesia. \n\n\n\nThese islands are also home to lots of other threatened species – including  the Sumatran tiger\, clouded leopard and Asian elephant. Protecting the orangutan’s home helps those animals too. \n\n\n\nOrangutans are among the most intelligent primates. They use a variety of sophisticated tools and construct elaborate sleeping nests each night from branches and foliage.  \n\n\n\nThe most arboreal of the great apes\, Orangutang spend most of their time in trees. Whilst they are mostly solitary animals\, social bonds occur primarily between mothers and their dependent offspring\, who remain together for the first two years.  \n\n\n\nFrom 1992-2000\, the population of the Sumatran orangutang is considered to have declined by more than 50%. Its relative\, the Bornean orangutang population fell nearly 43 percent in the past decade\, from 35\,000 in 1996 to 20\,000 in 2006. Since these studies were done\, deforestation rates have continued to climb which means the actual populations could be well below these. \n\n\n\nHashtag  #WorldOrangutangDay \n\n\n\nFor more information
