ELEPHANT PARADE
The paths of the populations of modern metropolises and Asian elephants rarely cross nowadays. People struggle for life in the air-conditioned stone jungle while the elephants live in the exotic forests of countries like India, Malaysia and Thailand. However, this summer in London, elephants have become as much a part of the landscape as black taxis and double-deckers.
Wherever you go, you will bump into life-sized baby elephants. All together there are more than 250 model elephants in the streets, parks, famous locations and tourist attractions. These beautifully decorated beasts are part of the
Elephant Parade, organised by the Elephant Family charity throughout the world, and London is just one of the participating cities. The aim of the parade is to draw peopletasks attention to the tragedy of Asian elephants which are facing extinction. In the past 100 years the population of Asian elephants has fallen from 250,000 to 25,000.
The parade was supported by arts organisations, artists, conservationists, global corporations, politicians and celebrities, who took an active part in it. One company provided paint, another — building materials. A young transport company, Eco Movers, for example, was responsible for transporting the elephants to their sites. The company was chosen because it owns 12 removal vans with electric engines. As the elephants had to be transported on Sunday night, nobody was disturbed — the electric vans didntaskt produce any noise.
However, the most important contribution was made by artists who turned each elephant into a real masterpiece. A young artist, Benjamin Shine, has transformed his elephant into a London black taxi which lights up at night. Another popular favourite is The City in the Elephant where you can look inside and see a miniature world within! There are elephants painted as the British
flag, newspaper and even fish and chips. All of them are sure to bring smiles to peopletasks faces.
After the parade is over, each elephant will be auctioned (продан с аукциона) and the money will be used to help prevent the tragedy of Asian elephant extinction.
