This walk aims at raising awareness on the plight of our elephants and collect views from communities in the UK. The rationale behind this walk is to raise awareness of the plight of African elephants. According to the African elephant Elephants database, South Africa region has the highest elephants population as of 2013 at 278,520.This population has declined from the 297, 718 ﬁgure of 2007 and expected to drop if poaching is not contained.

The recent survey shows that African elephants are declining at an alarming rate and there is a need to create regional, national and International awareness. https://www.iucn.org/news/species/201609/poaching-behind-worst-african-elephant-losses-25-years-–-iucn-report.

Based on population estimates and elephant trade information systems from a wide range of sources, shows a population decline from 2008 Namibia, Botswana, South Africa and Zimbabwe respectfully down listed their elephant population from Appendix I to II and now enjoy trade on ivory and on live elephants.

This is one of the reasons why Jim has decided to walk in United States, Europe and Asian countries so as to take this awareness campaign to international communities around the world. The London to Bristol Walk is the second international walk he has undertaken, and this is only the beginning as we hope to partner Jim and carry the message across all countries that still engage in Ivory trade.
