Save One Elephant

Tampa Bay Newspapers' "Outdoor & Recreation" section yesterday had a unique and meaningful feature by Karen Mitchell Tremmel. She reports on an afternoon, some years ago, she spent with a Lakota Elder. The Elder told of his advice to the man who "searched all over the world for answers".

"Only you can make the difference. While you may feel like only one sword or one shield against the wrongs you see, only you can make the difference. Look around you. If today there are fewer than 7,000 wild tigers in the world, you can make a difference by helping to save just one. Because of poaching, African Elephant populations dropped by 50 percent, from 1.3 million to 600,000, between 1979 and 1989. Help save one elephant," is the Elder's advice.
