🐘 WORLD ELEPHANT DAY 2026🐘

Today is World Elephant Day!

For those of us who work with elephants, days like this are a useful reminder of the responsibility that comes with managing them in human care.
Their welfare depends on the quality of the decisions made around them every day. Housing, environmental interactions, social management, training, foot health, ageing and veterinary care all have a direct effect on the lives they lead.
Elephant management has changed enormously over the years and it will continue to change. Better knowledge, better facilities and a greater understanding of individual elephants give us the opportunity to keep improving what we provide.
There is always more to learn, and there is always something that we can be do better.
Today, alongside recognising the conservation challenges facing elephants in the wild, I also want to recognise the keepers, veterinarians and other professionals working every day to improve the lives of elephants in human care.

I’m excited to share that my new book,

Modern Elephant Management: A Guide to Elephant Foot Health,

is now available on Amazon.

One challenge we all face in elephant care is that many foot problems are already advanced by the time obvious signs appear.
This book examines how foot disease progresses in managed elephants, why some conditions become chronic, and , most importantly, practical steps we can take earlier, together, to support stronger foot health and better welfare outcomes for the elephants in our care.
Written from direct, hands-on experience working with elephants in both free and protected contact systems, it’s intended as a useful resource for all of us committed to advancing elephant welfare.
