Wednesday, August 12 – World Elephant Day (virtual event)
In 2005, the Detroit Zoo became the first zoo in the country to decide solely on ethical grounds to no longer keep elephants. In the years since, more zoos have made the same decision. On World Elephant Day, we’ll remember Asian elephants Wanda and Winky and continue the conversation about how elephants are faring in the wild. Check with the Detroit Zoo for times.
