Sloni so vitalni za naš planet

Kljub svojo velikosti, imajo nežen, skoraj malo žalosten videz in veljajo za miroljubne, prijazne živali. Obstaja verovanje, da slon prinaša srečo, zato ima veliko ljudi njegovo podobo zraven postelje.

A sloni so veliko več kot genialni, ljubljeni velikani, so izredno pomembni za naš planet. Sloni so bistveni za trajnostni ekosistem, saj sloni s svojo težo poteptajo grmovje in debelo travo ter dajo prostor drugim vrstam, da migrirajo na druga področja s hrano in boljšimi pogoji za bivanje. Sloni skopljejo globoke jame v suhe rečne struge ter priskrbijo odi sebi in drugim živalim. Slon je rastlinojedec in dnevno pospravi ogromno rastlinja. Listje in ostalo zelenje trga z rilcem in ga na to nosi v usta, istočasno pa poskrbi, da semena padajo daleč naokoli kar seveda omogoča ponovno rast rastlin.

‘Beating air pollution’ is this year’s theme for World Environment Day but how does that tie in with elephants you ask? Just like all species - including humans, elephants need clean air to breathe. One way to ensure they have clean air is to plant trees. As part of our conservation-based education programme, we run tree planting activity in schools across northern Kenya. The past year alone, we've planted over 500 trees which have not only improved the quality of air but also providing habitats for other wildlife. #WorldEnvironmentDay #BeatAirPollution #elephants #wildlife #cleanair #environment.

Veliki sesalec ima le enega res hudega sovražnika – človeka (sem in tja ga napade tudi kakšen lev). Vsako leto se pod prepovedanimi streli zgrudi ogromno teh velikih, mirnih, prijaznih in ljubečih orjakov samo za voljo njihovih oklov in čistega strelskega užitka.
