Trumpet one and all for elephants! Let’s have some fun! This may seem irreverent, but elephants look strange, yet are the most compassionate animal on this planet. Humans are more strange – we can learn much from these loving creatures. Conventional approaches to saving elephants is not working – we need the unconventional!
