Orphans Elephants at Marble Arch
The Orphans Elephants arrive at Marble Arch are 21 life-size bronze elephant sculptures representing real elephants including the orphaned calf which highlights their sad backstory, under the care of Sheldrick Wildlife Trust.
One mother elephant sits in the middle of the herd left behind by poachers, victims to habitat loss, climate change and other sources of human-wildlife conflict, these orphaned elephants are being looked after and raised by the Trust in Africa.
Created by passionate wildlife conservationists, Gillie and Marc sculpture specialists who aim to raise funds and awareness for this next generation of elephants.
The artists urged people to support the cause by visiting the sculpture and sharing photos using #elephantsoftomorrow and to use the QR codes on each elephant to find out about sponsoring their real-life counterpart or donating to the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust. The Orphans are on Marble Arch Law for one year and free to visit.
