Amarula have officially removed the elephant from their packaging

By Tyler Leigh Vivier on September 28, 2017

World Elephant Day was in August and as part of their #DontLetThemDisappear campaign, Amarula removed the elephant symbol from their packaging. We shared a video they created to show where the poached ivory ends up and it isn’t only in some dodgy guys trophy den!

Recently on Facebook Andrew Aveley shared images of the new bottle on his Facebook and the missing image really hit home! The bottle really gets you thinking. Could you imagine a world without any elephants?

‘It takes big balls and a confident company to change the branding of an internationally recognizable product to make a point and stand up against poaching …” – Andrew Aveley

The brand has sent a powerful message that we should all pay attention to. The ivory trade stops with us! We are where it ends, the only way to stop it is to stop the demand. This means that we should not be buying items that contain ivory, even if the person swears it wasn’t poached.

We should speak out more against poachers and their illegal trade just like Amarula is doing. And when the day is over, have a nice cold glass of Amarula because they support elephant conservation with every bottle purchased!

why not

here, in Switzerland, they changed the form of the bottle but not the image

Nan, I think that they import it already bottled

maybe will come later

SANParks concerned with growing number of elephants poaching

JOHANNESBURG – SANParks says 504 rhinos and 67 elephants were killed due to poaching at the Kruger National Park in 2017.

SANParks says the rate of poaching of rhinos has declined by 20% an improvement and a light at the end of the tunnel.

Head ranger at the Kruger National Park Ken Maggs says while the numbers of rhinos being poached has declined, there’s been a surprising rise in the numbers of elephants being targeted now.

“And that’s concerning because one elephant poached is too many, although we’ve many elephants.”

Maggs says the last time elephant poaching was popular in the Kruger was back in the 1980s.

“As an organisation, together with the military, we’re on top of that rhino and elephant poaching. The highest number that we lost was in 1981 where we lost in the region of about 100 elephants.”

An anti-rhino poaching pledge has been signed by SANParks, South African Police Service, the South African National Defence Force, Nehawu and Hospersa this week as an initiative to actively fight the wild life crime from the various sectors.
