Calling all animal lovers and creative minds! Lok Kawi Wildlife Park in Sabah has a delightful opportunity for you to name not just one, but three adorable newly born Bornean elephant calves. Exciting, isn't it?
Curator Maryati Abdullah Lakim shared the news, announcing the "Baby Elephant Naming Campaign," which will be open for suggestions until August 8. All you need to do is visit the park's Facebook page, Taman Hidupan Liar Lok Kawi "Official Page," and submit your most creative and fun name ideas. How cool is that?

The final names will be revealed a week after the campaign ends, and it's all in celebration of World Elephant Day 2023 on August 12. This year's theme, "Protecting elephant habitats for a sustainable tomorrow," highlights the importance of preserving these majestic creatures' environments.
Maryati emphasized that involving the public in the naming process creates a sense of attachment and raises awareness about the urgent need to protect Sabah's precious wildlife. It's an opportunity for everyone to play a role in safeguarding these magnificent animals.
But that's not all! Lok Kawi Wildlife Park hopes that this campaign will also bring more attention to their Facebook page. By encouraging people to like, share, and follow the page, they can spread educational content, conservation efforts, and awareness videos.
