This is part of a campaign to raise awareness and draw attention to the plight of the endangered Asian elephant, whose numbers have fallen by 90 per cent in the last 100 years, the Elephant Family has organised Elephant Parade India, which is being touted as India’s largest public art event. The India edition aims to generate funds to secure 101 elephant corridors across India for the endangered Asian elephant. The parade had a preview in November 2017, in Jaipur, and on Sunday, 101 painted elephant sculptures brightened the streets of Mumbai.
