WWF International - "Elephant sanctuary: your weekly round-up 🐼" 2021
There's been a lot going on in the news over the last few days, making it difficult to know what's worth tapping into. To help you filter through, we've handpicked some of this week's must-read stories.
This week marked World Elephant Day, and the first piece takes us to a Kenyan sanctuary that rescues and rehabilitates young elephants – owned and run by an Indigenous community. Through generations, Indigenous peoples have passed on their deep knowledge about nature. The second feature shares some of their voices and experiences.

Yet, we continue to over-exploit our life-sustaining blue planet. Now more than ever, it's time we step up:
Rhinos, polar bears and tigers may be the focus of most headlines about species loss, but did you know that many insects are also facing extinction? And did you know this impacts all of us? Here's why we must protect insects:
