A
series of bronze elephants have been installed around Spitalfields
Market and the local area, with 21 elephants now roaming the plains. And
would you believe it, this isn’t their first appearance in the capital
Yes, these are the same
elephants you may have seen out at Marble Arch last year: a herd of
twenty orphan elephants and one mother, who’ve apparently upped sticks
and moved across town whilst we’ve been confined indoors. And whilst
they’re extremely cute to look at, they’re there for a serious reason:
to raise awareness of poaching, habitat destructions, and ecosystem
changes, all of which threaten the existence of elephants in the
wild.
