On 12 August, World Elephant Day shines a spotlight on the world"s African and Asian elephants and the urgent need to protect them. In places like Amboseli National Park in Kenya, captured in this image, a herd doesn"t simply pass through the landscape—it remembers it. Matriarchs guide their families between water sources, following routes shaped as much by memory as by terrain.
