A beautiful elephant family sleeps deep inside the Anamalai Tiger Reserve in Tamil Nadu, an extraordinary moment captured on camera. The young one gently rests its leg on an elder, seeking comfort, security and love. In the world of elephants, family is everything. And around them stands the forest silent, protective, eternal like a cradle holding life itself. On this International Day of Forests, this tender scene reminds us of a simple truth: if forests do not exist, nothing will remain. Nothing at all. Without forests, the world would be poorer, harsher, emptier. For elephants, for wildlife, for rivers, for people forests are life Incredible capture @dhanu_paran #InternationalDayofForest #forestday #InternationalDayofForest

Our 2026 focus is to scale up our river operations: we are kickstarting our 30 Cities Program to stop up to 1/3 of the plastic currently flowing from rivers into the ocean. But what about the Great Pacific Garbage Patch? Alongside the deployment of more Interceptors, this year we will continue running AI and drone tests and advancing our computational modeling to help us locate and map plastic hotspots in the GPGP. The goal: to make ocean operations more efficient. Stay tuned for updates!
