when every day for the past seven years has been nothing but “bad” to you & you only have negative things to say ~consistently~ is it REALLY other people who are the problem?
Sup
elephant fam! Considering how influential social media is today - what
are some creative ways we can better leverage instagram in order to
promote and foster conservation? Would love to hear your ideas! 🌍🌿✌🏽
The
tusks of an elephant are modified incisors that grow throughout an
elephant’s lifetime. An adult male’s tusks grow about 7 inches a year.
Tusks are used to dig for salt, water and roots, to debark trees, to
clear a path and occasionally in fights. Additionally, they are used for
marking trees to establish an elephant’s territory. Info credit:
is today’s featured elephant conservation project! Thailand Elephants
is a charity raising awareness for people visiting Thailand’s captive
elephants! They educate on the importance of doing your research before
taking part in elephant related tourism…If you know of any other
conservation projects that I should feature, please feel free to reach

This is a real problem, however while we don’t have this museum, we do have The National Museum of American Indian (yeah I hate the name too) that actually describes a lot of the bullshit Native Americans have had to go through. There is a room completely dedicated to every treaty that the US government made with Native Americans and then back out on (honestly it’s the saltiest museum I’ve ever been in) They have stuff from the trail of tears to modern day issues. I would encourage everyone, especially my white friends who don’t know much about Native American culture or history, to go check it out.
Update: I was wrong, we do have this museum! I encourage everyone to check out the American Indian Genocide Museum in Dallas Texas. They participate in a lot of activism and education.
