100 Larger Than Life Indian Elephants Are Migrating Across The U.S. To NYC! The elephants aren’t real, of course. Rather it’s a herd of 100 life-size elephant statues. Dubbed The Great Elephant Migration, the installation is “a global fundraising adventure to amplify indigenous knowledge and inspire the human race, to share space”. The Great Elephant Migration is a collaboration between indigenous artisans, contemporary artists, and cultural institutions, that’s set to raise millions of dollars to power human-wildlife coexistence projects and protect migratory animals. And, just like migratory elephants in real life, the heard of elephant statues are migrating their way across the U.S.–they’re currently taking up residence in Newport, Rhode Island, and will migrate their way to NYC on Friday, September 6th where they’ll reside until October.
