The elephants are competing with people for food and space.
Asian elephants travel from forest to forest, looking for food.
Today the forests are getting smaller, and the elephants go
through villages to get to them. People in the villages protect
their land and kill the elephants. In thirty years there Won't be
any elephants unless we do Something.

Theyre special roads between the forests where elephants can
travel safely. There's already one in India, but we need many more.

we Wont have banners or slogaทs. Its a fundraising event.
