Who Cares About Asian Elephants?





Sure, you won't find a lot of people saying: "Asian elephants threatend with extinction? Good, always hated the big grey buggers."

But you won't find a lot of people reaching deep in to their pockets to help either.

So what to do? Start going door to door? Like 20 other charities people have actually heard of before?

Make a TV commercial and hope TV stations will air it for free? Considering the budget it would cost to produce a commercial you would probably be lucky if you can break even.

Fortunately for the Asian elephant, someone came up with a great idea.

112 man sized were made and painted on by various Dutch artists (Corneille being 1 of them).

The Elephants are placed all over Amsterdam for a month to raise awareness and after that they will be auctioned for the cause.

We don't know who came up with the idea, but he/she is definetly no dumbo.
