The fine art paintings of these gentle giants are exhibited and
sold to a world wide audience, generating much needed funds for
the continued rescue, care and upkeep of the Sumatran elephants
in our safari refuge. Selling the art works of our Safari Park
'stars' not only raises the profile of these humble giants, but
part of the proceeds goes directly back into transmigrating
other endangered Sumatran elephants to our park sanctuary,
feeding, breeding & development programs, and to assist with
costs of medical and vitamin supplements needed to maintain the
health and well-being of the elephants. Currently there are less
than 1,100 Indonesian elephants left in the wild and their
numbers are rapidly decreasing.
At the Elephant Safari Park we are assisting, through
proceeds from the sale of elephant paintings, gifts and
souvenirs, with the relocation of wild elephants to special
reserves setup by the Indonesian Government to assist with
breeding programs to help build up the depleting numbers. |
