Supporting the Elephant

July 5, 2018/0 Comments/in Simon's PlanetPostgreSQL /by Simon Riggs

The elephant has been the symbol of PostgreSQL for many years now, referring to the robustness and strength as well as its reputed wisdom. Long may that association continue.

Even after many years of protection, the elephant is being killed by poachers at an incredible rate of 20,000 per year, or approximately 1 elephant will be killed while you read this.

The things we care about can be destroyed if we do nothing.

If the online trade in ivory can be reduced, we can reduce the killing.

Please contribute in some way, and report traders if you see them.
