Today people from across the world are celebrating World Elephant Day. Every year this day, dedicated to the gentle giants, is celebrated on August 12. The day was initiated in 2011 by the Elephant Reintroduction Foundation and filmmakers Patricia Sims and Michael Clark. It is a day that highlights the issues related to illegal poaching and ivory trade. It also raises awareness about those elephants that are kept in captivity. People have now taken to social media to share their messages on this special day, including actor Dia Mirza.
