Elephant sculptures at Marble Arch, London

21 bronze life-size elephants were unveiled on 4th December 2019 in London’s Marble Arch to raise awareness of the disappearance of Africa’s elephants from the wild, which face extinction by 2040.

Each elephant featured in the sculpture is based on a real orphaned elephant currently in the care of the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust, many of whom have been orphaned at the hands of humans.

The herd will remain in London for one year as part of the Westminster City of Sculpture scheme, enabling Londoners and tourists alike the chance to meet the herd.
