Broadcaster Eamonn Holmes announces Woburn Safari Park' s charity prize draw to help raise money for the International Elephant Foundation charity for World Elephant Appreciation Day.
World Elephant Appreciation Day (August 12) aims to raise awareness of the threats facing Asian and African elephants, from illegal poaching for the ivory trade to the destruction of their natural habitats.

The five Asian elephants at the Park enjoy a 6,000 square metre meadow in which they can engage in their natural behaviours.
Asian Elephants are most affected by the loss of habitat due to human settlement and deforestation for agriculture, while African elephants are targeted by poachers for their tusks, as part of the illegal ivory trade.
Eamonn said: "I’m delighted to join the team at Woburn in supporting the International Elephant Foundation charity (IEF) for World Elephant Appreciation Day.
