Project: Elphant for Elephant
Artists: Thom Kofoed and Zelly Hastings
Get Involved: facebook.com/elephantforelephant
This is Elephant for Elephant, and they need you! A new project by regular Creature Contributor Thom Kofoed and his friend, Zelly Hastings, launched to help raise awareness of the plight of elephants in the wild.
Send them your elephant creations as they attempt to collect a piece of art for every elephant that died in 2013.
In 2013, it is estimated there were approximately 36,000 African Elephant deaths as a result of poaching, loss of habitat or Human-Elephant conflict.
We are Elephant Advocates raising awareness of this situation, not only for the Elephants of Africa, but on behalf of Elephants worldwide. They do not have their own voice or their own choice within the human system.
We are aiming to replace each and every one of these Elephants with an Elephant drawing, a sculpture, a painting, a story, a poem, a film or any form of creative Elephant expression.
And we want your help. Find out more about how to contribute to this project here on their blog: http://www.elephant-for-elephant.blogspot.co.uk/
