The elephants’ guide to social distancing

Here’s a little guide to social distancing, elephant style!

Watch the video here.

Stay at home if possible

Keep a safe distance from others if you must go out

Wash your hands regularly

Avoid touching your face

Avoid panic buying food and toilet paper

The elephants in these photos are from Following Giants – a higher welfare, elephant-friendly venue in Koh Lanata, Thailand. Since the end of last year, they have been giving elephants who have suffered in the entertainment and logging industries a new, happier life.

Venues like Following Giants rely on responsible tourism, so the following months are going to be difficult. Thanks to your support, these elephants and many others will continue to receive food and vet care.

On behalf of everyone at World Animal Protection, wishing you and your loved ones stay safe.
