Friends in Melbourne and Singapore, I’m coming your way to talk elephants in early October so if you’re around please come along to see some beautiful elephant images an update from me on all things elephantine!  More details of the events are coming soon, but for now put these dates in your diary!  All of my books will be available at these events.

FRIDAY 2ND OCTOBER – Singapore Botanical Gardens, Function Hall.  4pm-5pm.

SATURDAY 3RD OCTOBER – Melbourne University, hosted by A Future With Elephants, including the Melbourne premiere of ‘Let Elephants Be Elephants‘ and presentation by yours truly.  This will be held between 11am and 2pm, so won’t clash with any of you who are going to the AFL Grand Final that evening.  Exact times and venue to be revealed shortly.

SUNDAY 4TH OCTOBER – Melbourne March For Elephants.  10.30am for an 11am start at Federation Square.  Peaceful march through the city to Parliament Steps followed by speeches.  Come and show your support for elephants and ending the illegal ivory trade!  Join up here.

Advertising works.  We might not like it, but when it’s done well, it does.  And when it comes to stopping people buying ivory, it seems that some organisations are seeing signs of  success in reducing demand in Asia simply by letting people know that buying ivory is directly linked to the killing of elephants.  This is just the sort of hopeful story that I like to share, so read on!
