    World Elephant Day by Paul Goldstein

    In honour of the upcoming World Elephant Day (12 August), Exodus guide and wildlife photographer Paul Goldstein makes an impassioned plea for thought to be given to elephant conservation. His words are paired with his gallery of beautiful pachyderm images.

    When you spend as long in the African bush and desert as Wimbledon-based Paul has, a love for elephants is understandable as is his concern. He has photographed them for over twenty five years and feels their decline, although seemingly inexorable, can be arrested.

    "In China demand is on the rise and unfortunately it appears impossible to do anything about regulating this despicable trade. Much of Africa has been ravaged but it is particularly bad now in the South and East. In the 80's in Kenya the herds were being harvested with impunity. Fortunately, Richard Leakey put a stop to the killing with properly trained patrols with a shoot on sight policy for poachers. This policy needs to be employed for all poachers whether the quarry be tigers, rhino or elephants, in any parts of the world, if this hideous cancer is to be stopped.

    "However, despite Obama's government pledging to help the African administration, these countries' governments have to wade in too, not just wring their hands. Also they should not be giving out licenses to hunt them. In Namibia the desert elephant, which numbers but a few hundred have recently lost five of their number after the government granted license to kill five breeding bulls! This is a shocking example of greed and short-sightedness.

    "Poachers now have a high tech arsenal of weapons and advanced tracking tools, the anti-poaching patrols, as well as elephants, are facing daunting odds. Often the best form of defence is tourism as many eyes mean the poachers will look elsewh...

    Lions Masai Mara North Conservancy Hurdles
    Commonwealth Games Wildlife by Paul Goldstein
    With the Commonwealth Games kicking off triumphantly in Glasgow this hilarious gallery shows the world of wildlife seemingly joining in the sporting events.

    Photographer and presenter Paul Goldstein took these images whilst guiding for wildlife and adventure travel company Exodus.

    With his work taking him to some of the world's most exotic places - including the Masai Mara, Antarctica, Namibia and Spitsbergen in Norway - Paul has seen some amazing animal shapes.

    Highlights include tigers wrestling in India, gazelle doing the sprint and a desert elephant appearing to do the hurdles over a fallen tree.

    Wimbledon-based Paul said: "It is extraordinary how similar some of these animal's habits are to athletes."

    KENYA : NORTHERN WHITE RHINOCEROS CONSERVATION PROJECT
    18 january 2010 - Ol Pejeta Conservancy, Laikipia, Kenya - Elephant at the Ol Pejeta conservancy. On December 20, 2009, four of the world's last eight known surviving northern white rhinos were relocated from captivity back to the wild in a last bid to save them from extinction. The four rhinos, two males and two females, named Sudan, Suni, Fatu and Najin - were transferred by air from Dvur Králové Zoo in the Czech Republic to the Ol Pejeta Conservancy in Laikipia, Kenya. It is thought that the climatic, dietary and security conditions that the rhinos will enjoy at Ol Pejeta will provide them with higher chances of starting a population in what is seen as the very last lifeline for the species.
