Bornean elephants, a subspecies of the Asian elephant, only live in the northeast corner of Borneo. They are the largest land animal in Borneo but the smallest of all elephants species. These endangred giants are under threat due to habitat loss, but with the increase of tourism and awareness these elephants are doing better than before and a big effort has been put in to protecting their habitat.
There is not much better then seeing elephants in the wild, especially if they are playing in the river.

The beautiful elephant's sculptures behind me represent the beauty of this majestic animal. 🐘💖
No one in the world needs an elephant tusk except for the elephant itself. Elephants are the largest existing land animals. Elephants are among other animals that are under serious threat. 😰
Do you know that elephants are pregnant for almost 2 years? That's more than twice the duration of a human pregnancy! 😱 Remember the beautiful pregnant elephant that was killed after eating a pineapple that was filled with firecrackers last year? She suffered for days before dying in the river and she died with her unborn child.😭
How cruel is that? What is happening with humanity? That is one of the terrible incidents and just imagine there are thousands of cruelty happening around us every day to the elephants and more and more animals.😢
(WWF) Around 90% of African elephants have been wiped out in the past century - largely due to the ivory trade - leaving an estimated 415,000 wild elephants alive today.
Asian elephants are also under threat, having declined by at least 50% in the last 3 generations. There are only around 45,000 left in the wild.
As elephants habitat changes, fragments and is lost to human settlements and agriculture, populations of Asian elephants are finding it harder to follow their traditional migration routes to reach water, feeding and breeding grounds, and they’re coming into often dangerous contact with people.
Elephants are just like us, they feel love. They are among the most exuberantly expressive of creatures. Elephants have the finest emotions and capable of complex thought and deep feeling.
Let us learn how to love elephants (and all animals). Stop elephant riding, bathing, circus, and any types of entertainment that use elephants for suffering.
Spread the awareness, spread the love🐾❤
