Elephant Parade

Friends

we posted about the Elephant Parade

that arrived in our town.

The elephants are placed throughout our town

on paths, lawns, sidewalks....

we found

in the harbor.

Mr. Cesar Milan's elephant and autograph.

And a corn on the cob elephant

 

 

This here is Mosha

The story

"She needs your support. In fact, a whole species does. Asian elephants are on the verge of extinction, and the commitment for their preservation started with special elephant known as Mosha. After stepping on an abandoned land mine, Mosha was fit with the world¹s first-ever prosthesis for a baby elephant. Her powerful strides inspired father and son duo, Mike and Marc Spits, to create Elephant Parade®in 2006. As a socially-conscious business enterprise, Elephant Parade has since rapidly grown from a grassroots movement into a global crusade combining a powerful mix of corporate, celebrity and community support. Through the sale of merchandise and auction of the original art pieces, the exhibition has raised over $6 million dollars to help support the world¹s most majestic land mammals and raise global awareness of issues affecting their dramatic plight."

 

I love finding all these elephants
