Gisele posed with an elephant, as one does on World Wildlife Day

Giselephant, if you will.

Today is World Wildlife Day. So Gisele, animal and earth lover, wrote an ode on her Instagram to preserving endangered species.

“If you hurt one species you’re hurting them all,’’ she wrote. “I would like to invite everyone to take part in this campaign to end Illegal Trade in Wildlife by simply spreading the word wherever you can.’’

Here, photographed with an elephant in a place that quite obviously isn’t Brookline, we give you Giselephant:

It saddens me that in the 21st century there are still many endangered wildlife species. Continued poaching still threatening to wipe out populations of rhinos and elephants. If we want a better future, we also have to take care of the wildlife. If you hurt one species you´re hurting them all, including us humans. I would like to invite everyone to take part in this campaign to end Illegal Trade in Wildlife by simply spreading the word wherever you can. It is also important not to buy illegal wildlife of any kind. I believe we create our own reality by making choices, and we are the only ones capable of changing the reality we live in.#InOurHands #WorldWildlifeDay #WWD2016 #love @dswt ???? Me entristece saber que em pleno século 21 ainda existam muitas espécies selvagens ameaçadas de extinção. A caça ilegal ameaça dizimar as populações de rinocerontes e elefantes, por exemplo. Se queremos um futuro melhor, também temos de cuidar da vida selvagem. Se você fere uma espécie, está ferindo a todas, incluindo nós, seres humanos. Gostaria de convidar a todos para participar desta campanha para acabar com o comércio ilegal de animais selvagens, compartilhando essas informações como puder. Também é importante não comprar nenhum tipo de vida selvagem. Acredito que criamos nossa própria realidade através das escolhas que fazemos e somos os únicos capazes de mudar a realidade em que vivemos.
