Elephant Parade
Lacey
In 2008 a baby Thai elephant named Mosha lost her leg after stepping on a landmine. When Marc Spits learnt about the unfortunate incident through Soriada Salwala, founder of the first Thai elephant hospital in the world, it inspired him and his son Mike Spits to set up the Elephant Parade – on June 9 2008 Mosha became the first baby elephant ever fit with a prosthetic leg, partially funded by Elephant Parade. Today Elephant Parade’s mission is to become the world’s largest financial support organisation for Asian elephants.
On November 11th the Elephant Parade arrived in Singapore. Over 160 life-sized fibreglass baby elephants, painted and decorated by international artists and celebrities, are currently covering Singapore along Orchard Road, Marina Bay, VivoCity, Singapore Zoo, Botanic Gardens, museums and more!
Each statue is a unique piece of art – and when the exhibition comes to an end, all will go up for auction. Part of the proceeds will then be donated to The Asian Elephant Foundation.
