An assembly for all key stages on incredible elephants and the ivory trade.
This topic has many cross-curricular links, with strong links to the Science, English Geography, SMSC and Citizenship curriculums.
Context:
Elephants are in crisis. A century ago there were an estimated five million elephants in Africa. Today, there are less than half a million. An average of 55 elephants are killed by poachers every day for their tusks. That’s about one every 25 minutes. Many experts have predicted that, unless poaching can be effectively addressed, elephants could all but disappear from many of Africa’s wild places in the coming decades.
Born Free has been campaigning for a global ban on the trade in ivory since 1989. Our field work means we have experienced first-hand the brutal aftermath of poaching and the pressures that elephants face. We carry out crucial work in Cameroon, Ethiopia and Kenya to support the monitoring and protection of wild elephant populations, gaining invaluable insights to their behaviour and undeniable intelligence.
