Elephant Art

Have you seen the interesting paintings done by elephant? Here's a group that is dedicated to Conservation and education: The Asian Elephant Art and Conservation Project.

The Asian Elephant Art & Conservation Project (AEACP) is a non-profit organization dedicated to aiding people in need and to saving the diminishing number of Asian elephants left on our planet through its work with domesticated elephants. The AEACP raises funds through the sale of artwork created by elephants in order to generate money and create awareness for the people and elephants of Asia.

The painting on the left is by Boon Rod pictured above. It's Boon Rod #o29 selling for $650.
The one on the right is by Ging Gao. It's 041 and sells for $500.00

From their website:

The AEACP exists to:

  • improve the welfare of domesticated elephants by facilitating appropriate standards of training, care, food and habitat.
  • help support the efforts of conservation organizations working to sustain and protect wild elephant populations.

Their paintings can be truly wonderful. And, better yet, elephant paintings can help to support several conservation centers in Asia that have evolved to support elephants that were adversely impacted by deforestation and logging restrictions in Thailand.
