From LAist: “After traveling more than 5,000 miles across the United States, the Great Elephant Migration is ending its journey in Beverly Hills.
“The 100 elephant sculptures — signifying a peaceful coexistence between animals and humans — were hauled in on pickup trucks along Santa Monica Boulevard. The last three elephants crossed a ceremonial finish line outside the Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts on Friday.
“The project is intended to inspire others to care more for nature.
““It’s meant to show communities in the U.S. what it’s like to live with wildlife, how to coexist with it, in a way where we are able to have a relationship, as opposed to seeing it as something distant,” said Feh Tarty, chairperson of Elephant Family USA, the nonprofit behind the exhibit. “We want people to start to think of the wildlife in their own communities and have a different perspective on what is their purpose here.””
Ben and Bonnie met me there and we enjoyed a nice visit and some breakfast.
