Satao is the name of one of the world’s largest elephants. By logic, his size should have made him unreachable for any natural predators. However, in today’s world of environmental destruction, Satao fell prey to poachers for his ivory in March 2014. Telling Satao’s story reminds people around the globe that the need to protect the African elephant is bigger than ever.
