To stage awareness of elephants’ endangerment, sculptures resembling the animal were produced and auctioned for the charity elephant family.

‘Taxi Elephant‘ is designed by british artist and designer Benjamin Shine. The design is being used for the ‘Elephant Parade London 2010‘ to raise 2 million pounds from the auction of these artistic representations.

The population of asian elephants have tumbled from 250,000 to just 25,000. Continuing this trend will mean that these creatures will be extinct by 2050.
