First Place:<\/strong>\u00a0Four elephants walking in Tanzania.<\/span><\/p>\n

“I took this in Tanzania where I work and this picture reminds me of why elephants are so important to our own lives, as they represent the importance of what we are dong as educators. \u00a0As well most of these elephants will be shot and killed for their ivory soon so seeing a picture like this will hopefully inspire our students to take action with conservation of this majestic animal.<\/span>”<\/p>\n
