"Elephant Parade 2010, hosted by Elephant Family and the Greater London Authority, is raising awareness of the crisis faced by the endangered Asian elephant. It will also help raise funds for WWF, as we’re an official conservation partner for the event. Each of the 250 elephants started life as a blank sculpture. Artists and celebrities were then invited to design and decorate them – and their work will be seen all around central London, in parks, on street corners, even on or inside buildings. Locations include Green Park, Hyde Park, St James’s Park, King’s Road, Queen’s Walk, Piccadilly Circus, Oxford Street, Hamley’s Toy Store, Selfridge’s, Trafalgar Square, Westminster, Marble Arch, Chelsea Royal Hospital, the Natural History Museum, even as far out as Greenwich and Brixton. Download a map and a full list of all the elephants on display. WWF supporter and celebrity ex-footballer Graeme Le Saux has contributed a design on behalf of WWF (it's been given the name 'Russell' – see photo above). Graeme says: “This use of public art is a brilliant way to raise awareness of conservation issues. I’ve designed a tree illustrating WWF branches of support all over the planet. Falling leaves represent lost species while we try to protect all that remains.” Other designers and artists involved include Jack Vettriano, Laura Ford, Tommy Hilfiger, Rosie Brooks, Storm Thorgerson and Nina Campbell. The elephant artworks will be auctioned at a special event in July, with proceeds going towards elephant conservation. " http://www.wwf.org.uk/wwf_articles.cfm?unewsid=3892
