The idea of the new sculpture is to bring attention to the plight of elephants everywhere, which face serious threats thanks to poaching, climate change, habitat loss due to animal agriculture, and other manmade disasters. These intelligent animals form deep family bonds, have remarkable memories, and grieve the loss of their loved ones — much like we humans do. Researchers have found that they also experience joy, anger, and a range of other emotions."
