A very special herd of elephants has taken up residence in New York City! In situ until 20 Oct, the herd of 100 sculptures includes two elephants representing their African elephant kin (& both based on orphans we've rescued & rewilded)! You will find Chaimu on 9th Avenue + W 13th Street & Edie on Horatio Street + W 4th Street. If you see them, be sure to tag us in your photos!

Costa Rica, once home to rampant logging, has now almost doubled the size of its rainforest. They turned it all around within a generation. It can be done. Protect people and the planet. #ActOnClimate #biodiversity #deforestation #rewilding #solutions
