Story
Elephants never forget, why should we?
Elegant and graceful
Majestic and gentle
We need to object
To this lack of respect
That we have for Nelly
And her friends around Dehli
With forests being cleared
We’ll see a lot less big ears
I say make a stand
Speak out like Mark Shand
Fight for their lives
It’ll be us who’s deprived
Of an iconic species
True Asian beauties
Stop them dying for ivory
And just live in harmony
Please pull out you purse
Or it’ll only get worse
Make an act of defiance
And help these grey giants
Do something extraordinary
Help save the elephants with me.
Undeniably one of the best moments in my life was the first time I saw an elephant in the wild. I will never, ever forget it. I felt overwhelmed with emotion and so privileged. I was speechless. If you want your children to have the same breath-taking experience we need to act now, to prevent the destruction of forests and in turn the extinction of a truly magical species.
I am running the Bupa London 10km on the 30th of May for Elephant Family. A small UK based charity dedicated to the conservation of the endangered Asian Elephant and their habitat. Please donate anything you can to this very worthwhile cause.
Thank you
