Moving Giants

We are moving elephants more than 1,000 miles to protect two African habitats.
They are moving us along the way.

8!

That's the number of conservation reserves that make up the @debeersgroup Diamond Route!

1,000 MILES.

That's the length elephants travelled through Moving Giants - one of the longest
elephant translocations ever attempted!

We're wrapping up @wrldelephantday 2021 and our Top 10 Photo countdown with this beauty: Your favorite photo we've ever posted. You've got good taste! To see the conservation work we're up to year round, give @debeersgroup a follow. #WorldElephantDay

We're diving into World Elephant Day 2021 with Number TWO in our @wrldelephantday Top 10 Photo Countdown. ⁠Sponsoring #WorldElephantDay is a real privilege -- as is the work @debeersgroup does year round for the elephant across southern Africa.

Monday mood got you down? What if we told you that this Thursday is @wrldelephantday!? @debeersgroup has been the proud sponsor of World Elephant Day for three years and counting! Speaking of which, here's Number three in our Top Ten #WorldElephantDay countdown.

[Moving Giants @movinggiants]

Number FOUR in our @wrldelephantday Top 10 countdown. Here's another reason to love elephants: they're adaptable. If they're translocated as family groups, they can quickly adapt to new terrain and rewild areas where elephant populations have been decimated. #worldelephantday

Number 5 in our @wrldelephantday Top 10 countdown. Elephant mama taking her first steps into her herd's new home in Mozambique after the world's longest and largest elephant translocation to date. A proud moment for @debeersgroup @peaceparks. 📸: @jamesoatway #worldelephantday

[Moving Giants @movinggiants]

What's this bathing beauty celebrating? Maybe that @wrldelephantday is right around the corner? Or maybe that her image is Number 6 in our World Elephant Day Top 10 countdown? Probably both!

[Moving Giants @movinggiants]

What's that I see? A weekend ahead? This curious fella is Number 7 in our @wrldelephantday Top 10 countdown. #worldelephantday

[Moving Giants @movinggiants]

It's that time of year -- @wrldelephantday is getting closer and closer. We've been proud to sponsor #WED for the past three years. In the lead up, we're going to be counting down *your* Top 10 Moving Giants photos of all time. Starting with this beauty!

TFW you can't shake the paparazzi

[Moving Giants @movinggiants]

Is it just us or does this elephant seem to be smiling?

[De Beers Group @debeersgroup]

It's #InternationalWomensDay which is no surprise to elephants -- their entire herd structure revolves around the strength of women who lead the pack and fiercely protect their families. 🐘 💪 #IWD
