@EPIAfrica Do you feel you’ve made progress in changing public opinion about elephants?
Yes. After my 31-day walk in the USA from Boston to DC in 2013 the authorities destroyed 6 tonnes of ivory. In 2016 I helped bring East African governments together on elephant policy, and encouraged the Kenyan authorities to introduce new penalties for wildlife violations. In 2017, after walking across southern England, I was invited to the House of Lords during the debate that ended in new ivory legislation. We have brought organisations together, and ensured media coverage where there was none.

🐘 IVORY BELONGS TO ELEPHANTS 🐘
Indiana, USA — The Journey Continues
As Jim Justus Nyamu — famously known as The Elephant Man — flies into Indiana on the U.S. leg of his global conservation journey, the message remains clear and uncompromising:
Ivory belongs to elephants. Period.
Jim is a renowned African Elephant Research Specialist, conservationist, and tireless advocate who has dedicated his life to protecting elephants and ensuring they live to their full, natural prime age — just like the legendary Super Tusker Craig, whose legacy continues to inspire conservation across the world.
🚶🏾♂️ Jim has walked an incredible 34,567 KM on foot to raise awareness for elephants:
🌍 Across 11 African countries
🇬🇧 11 cities in the UK
🇺🇸 12 states in the USA
This is a clarion call to communities, conservationists, policymakers, and wildlife lovers everywhere:
Let us stand together against ivory trade, protect elephant habitats, and defend the giants of our planet.
📢 Join the conversation and the conservation movement.
Reach out, engage, and support Jim as he continues to amplify the voice of elephants across the world.

Climate change is deepening inequalities — and increasing the risk of gender-based violence for women and girls.
On the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, let’s act #ForAllWomenAndGirls and build a safer, more climate-resilient future. #16Days

When nature says “one’s not enough,” you know something special’s coming… twins have entered the chat! 🐘🐘
Twin elephant calves were recently sighted in Amboseli, the iconic home of the African elephant — a rare glimpse of nature’s quiet miracles!
This is a testament to the power of conservation efforts that ensure Kenya’s incredible wildlife not only survive, but truly thrive in the wild!
