ELEPHANT POACHING CRISIS - INTERNATIONAL MARCH FOR ELEPHANTS OCTOBER 4 - ARUSHA

One elephant is killed every 15 minutes. At this rate none will be roaming wild in 2025. Tanzania is losing 30 Elephants a day. By 2020 Elephants will be wiped out in Tanzania at current kill rates, possibly even earlier.

In response to the slaughter that threatens Tourism and our jobs and the whole value chain Zara tours with its charitable organization have seen the impact and cooperate with the organizers to participate in the march by selecting two schools in moshi and sponsor them to participate in the burners competition where by school of st Louis and Northern highland attend the Elephant March in Arusha commemorating the World Animal Day held each year on the 4th October.

The Arusha walk was confirmed as one of the 15 cities in the world sponsored by The David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust (DSWT) in the International March for Elephants. 

The march involves fifteen local schools with wildlife awareness initiative and banners competition. And to educate communities on what is happening to our Graceful Giant requires Resources that we hope it will be able to assist.
