FOUR PAWS is proud to partner with The Great Elephant Migration: A Coexistence Story, a public art installation organized by Elephant Family, a U.S. and U.K.-based nonprofit. It launched in Newport, Rhode Island, this summer and landed in New York City in September, intending to raise millions for animal welfare efforts around the world. The U.S. phase of the traveling exhibit features 100 life-sized elephant sculptures that will “migrate” over 3,500 miles across the U.S. through the summer of 2025. The herd is now arriving in Houston, Texas on April 1, 2025 and will remain there until the end of April. 

The sculptures are crafted by indigenous artisans from India; each elephant is twinned with a conservation NGO, whose work directly benefits from the proceeds of their sculpture sales. The sculptures are meant to represent the importance of peaceful coexistence with animals while highlighting issues like human-elephant interactions.  

Each sculpture is for sale, with profits benefiting more than 20 NGOs supporting remarkable people around the world who have found ways to live alongside lions, leopards, elephants, and some of the planet’s most challenging animals. 

One of the elephants represents, Madhubala,whom FOUR PAWS reunited with her sisters in Pakistan in 2024. 

Opening Day in Houston is April 1, 2025, and the exhibit will remain open to the public through April 30, 2025.
