Following the success of #MarchForGiants in 2017, a herd of thousands of digital elephants again marched across global billboards in 2018 to continue the fight against poaching.

“The total financial commitment announced was more than $ 6.2 million”
There, the March took its powerful call for change directly to a global conservation event called the Giants Club Summit. Held in the presence of Botswana’s President Khama, the Giants Club Summit brought together African leaders, conservationists and global influencers to determine the next steps for ensuring elephants and their habitats are protected, forever.
“ We must act now to protect elephants, before its too late”
At the Summit dignitaries, philanthropists and distinguished guests gathered to discuss scaling up investment in frontline protection to ensure elephants are adequately protected. The total financial commitment announced was more than $ 6.2 million.
