Emily O'Dell leading an African safari
This summer, I was very fortunate to lead a safari for Columbia University through East Africa, where we saw hundreds of elephants–from weeks-old babies to elderly matriarchs–in their natural habitat during the great migration. Having witnessed these majestic mammals in person across the Serengeti-Mara, it is with a heavy heart that I’ve been reading about the increasing slaughter of elephants across Africa these past few weeks in articles like the ones below.

There must be a way to stop this senseless slaughter–before it’s too late…
