🌿✨ Elephants, with their gentle hearts and majestic presence, embody the magic of nature. Their deep bonds and nurturing spirit inspire us all. 🙏🐘 #MondayMotivation

John Donne, an English poet, scholar, and soldier who later became a cleric in the Church of England, puts it succinctly…🐘💚

🌧️💔 This Monday begins with heartbreak... with unbearable grief...

A young bull elephant, in the prime of his life, was electrocuted by illegal fencing in Odisha. ⚡🐘

He didn’t have to die.

We must do better—for them, for our planet, for our shared future. 🌍🕊️

Thank you ☺️ Prince Charles III for gracing and uplifting our nation amid the turbulence, reminding the world of our shared values. Your powerful Speech from the Throne packed a punch that reverberated around the world, sending a strong message of Canada’s sovereignty.#Canada #TrueNorthStrongandFree

OMG 😳 I almost 😅 fainted, held on to my heart until the end 💕 A baby 🐘 lies still. The mother nudges… waits… walks away… then returns. What happens next will leave you breathless.

Read 5 times and gain new insights. “The problem is that man’s conquest of the world has itself devastated the world. And in spite of all the mastery we’ve attained, we don’t have enough mastery to stop devastating the world—-or to repair the devastation we’ve already wrought.” Ishmael, Daniel Quinn

Change starts with us. If we truly want to protect our natural treasures, we must show that we care — through our actions, choices, and commitment. By leading with compassion, we can inspire others to join in our mission. Let’s take action and lead the way! 🐘✨

On this Monday, let's open our hearts a little wider. 🌎💚 Hollywood icon, Joaquin Phoenix’s powerful words remind us that beneath our differences, the same spirit of life connects us all. May we choose empathy, compassion, and a commitment to protect every being. 🐘🕊️ 💝 #MondayMotivation #empathy #love

✨Ignorance is not always a choice—it’s often the result of disconnection. When we forget our sacred bond with nature, we lose sight of the treasures that sustain us. But awareness is a powerful force. It opens our eyes, ignites compassion, and inspires action. Let’s light the lamp of understanding 🐘

HAPPY EARTH DAY 💝 Let’s use our voice to protect 🌍
💔 We often realize the power and value of our voice only when it’s been silenced. But silence serves no one—not the oppressed, not the planet, not the future. In a world unraveling, 𝐚𝐩𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐲 𝐢𝐬 𝐛𝐞𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐲𝐚𝐥. Speak. Act. Even a whisper can become a roar. 🔥

Our humanity is defined by how we treat those who cannot defend or speak for themselves. As we launch this week, can we please 🙏 take a moment to remember and connect with our intrinsic compassionate nature? It has been drowned by the the outer world, especially social media. Let’s delve within 💗🐘🙌🏼💗

🌍 What’s more vital than the air we breathe?

🌿 Trees clean it. Elephants plant them.

These gentle giants are nature’s reforesters—but they’re disappearing, along with 16 other keystone species.

Protect them, protect life. 🌱🐘

This APPALLING 💔 💔 💔 video sends shivers down my spine. These savages are GANGING UP on a helpless and shackled 🐘 tossing rocks on body while trying to FIND HIS GENITALS as he moves, so that they can toss rocks on his genitals. Dr. Panicker had told me that they do this in order to control the 🐘 😭😭😭

Did you know? Touching soil releases serotonin. Growing plants increases self esteem. Garden tasks reduce ADHD symptoms. Walking around and working with plants eases anxiety. Getting dirt under your nails improves gut health 💚

As a proud Canadian but also a friend of my beloved Americans, this unfortunate escalation of a trade war launched by the current US administration will be devastating to millions of people, paving the way for inflation and immense suffering. This is TOTALLY UNNECESSARY! 🤯

Wildlife sustains us—purifying air, protecting water, and balancing ecosystems. Yet, we destroy them.
