WE WILL NEVER FORGET
ELEPHANT 
ENDOTHELIOTROPIC HERPESVIRUS (EEHV) IS A DEADLY VIRUS WHICH AFFECTS YOUNG ELEPHANTS GLOBALLY. We want to find a solution to this disease.
This complex disease is having a catastrophic(灾难性的) effect on the global conservation of the Asian elephant and we want to find a solution to the problem as soon as possible to stop more elephants from dying from this deadly disease.
EEHV DOESN'T DISCRIMINATE (区别)
It doesn't matter whether it's a two year old elephant at Chester Zoo, at a zoo in the USA or in the wild in Africa—this is a problem right around the world which makes it even more critical(关键的) that we find an answer. We don't want it to be an extinction level event for this important animal.
MIKE JORDAN, CHESTER ZOO'S COLLECTIONS DIRECTOR
At present, not enough is known about this disease so we need to carry out important research to hopefully get closer to finding a way to stopping it killing more elephants. We're part of the world conservation community devoted to the conservation of Asian elephants, so we will continue to carry out more research and work to discover more about this virus and how to treat it.
