The
Clinton Foundation
does a great deal of work in Africa. Both Chelsea and Hillary Clinton
have made the effort to save African elephants an important item on
their agenda at the foundation. Elephant poaching and wildlife trafficking are tied to funding of
terrorist groups and thus pose major security threats. Chelsea spoke
to
ELLE Magazine about a joint effort with
TOMS Shoes.

Clinton has early memories of going with her parents, Bill and Hillary
Clinton, to Little Rock Zoo in Arkansas and visiting the elephants.
"[They] were always my favorite part of what already was such a magical
day," she says. Later, in the '90s, she was able to visit the elephants
again in their natural habitat with her mother, and yet again a decade
later with her husband. "Seeing different elephant families as my own
family has developed has been such a privilege."
Clinton is speaking with ELLE.com
about the animals not only because of her love for them, but because of
the Clinton Foundation’s commitment to save Africa's elephants. Now, in
partnership with TOMS shoes, you too can join the effort to help end
this crisis.
