Elephant Parade (registered as Elephant Parade BV) is an open-air exhibition dedicated to saving the Asian elephant from extinction. For one or more months, hundreds of painted elephant sculptures specially created by artists are placed in the streets of one or more host cities with the aim of increasing public awareness of the plight of the elephant and gaining support for Asian elephant conservation. They are then auctioned off, with the proceeds going to the Elephant Family organisation.

  • La « Elephant Parade » est une exposition d'art en plein air composée de statues d'éléphants décorées par des artistes, reconnus ou encore dans l'ombre, dont le but est de contribuer à la préservation des éléphants d'Asie et d’avertir le public des menaces qui pèsent sur leur existence : en effet, au cours des cent dernières années, la population des éléphants d'Asie est passée de 250 000 à 25 000 membres.

  • De Olifantenparade (Engels: Elephant Parade) is de grootste openluchttentoonstelling met als doel het redden van de met uitsterven bedreigde Aziatische olifant. Gedurende enkele maanden veroveren honderden bontgekleurde kunstolifanten de straten van de stad. Iedere olifant is een uniek kunstwerk, beschilderd door lokale en internationale artiesten. Na afloop van de tentoonstelling worden alle beelden geveild onder leiding van een professioneel veilinghuis zoals Christie's en Sotheby's. Een deel van alle inkomsten van Elephant Parade gaat naar , die zich inzet voor het behoud van de Aziatische olifant. (nl)
