"Seeing the Elephant" is a phrase that refers to gaining experience of the world at a significant cost.
Wildlife populations dwindle due to the Ivory Trade, exploitation of wild animals in entertainment, trophy hunting, habitat destruction, and other forms of domestic greed. If continued at the current rate future generations will never be able to see a living elephant, rhino, or many other endangered species.
I created this project to bring awareness to the horrors of poaching elephants for their ivory tusks and rhinos for their horns.
