Online, May 14, 2010 (Newswire.com) - Business Environment's Elephant stops for a rest in Bow Churchyard
Date: 14th May 2010
Business Environment has teamed up with Elephant Family, the only charity solely dedicated to ensuring the survival of the Asian elephant, to launch London's biggest ever public art event, which will see the capital taken over by elephants.
Business Environment has sponsored an elephant called Midnight Indigo who can be seen in Bow Churchyard on Cheapside in the heart of the City from 3rd May to 23rd June. Midnight Indigo, who has been hand-painted by the artist Cornelia O'Donovan, joins a further 249 life-size elephants in central London landmark locations.
David Saul, Managing Director at Business Environment, commented: "Our sponsorship initiative is part of Business Environment's values regarding protecting the environment and communities. By helping to sponsor London's Elephant Parade, we are delighted to support this wonderfully creative project that aims to raise awareness of the Asian elephant's plight. In addition, the incredible artwork has added life and vibrancy to the City".
Working with the Wildlife Trust of India, funds raised by the Elephant Parade will be used to buy and manage vital wildlife habitat across Asia, giving Asian elephants, and the species and people that share the land, a safer and more sustainable future. Elephant Family will also invest funds in community education projects across Asia, highlighting the commercial, cultural and ecological significance of Asian elephants, to instigate a positive shift in local attitudes towards elephants.
Sotheby's will auction the elephants at an event on 30 June, which aims to raise more than £1 million, benefiting more than 15 UK conservation charities working in Asia.
