Item Description

On the 8th of November, 2019, after a decade of rehabilitating over 30 elephants that were rescued from lives of trafficking, torture and abuse, Wildlife SOS unveiled India's first Elephant Memorial in a unique tribute to honour the souls of these gentle giants who lost their lives in the battle against brutality. The memorial has been established by Wildlife SOS with support from Uttar Pradesh Forest Department at ECCC, Mathura. It is inspired by other war memorials around the world for animals that were martyred during service and exemplifies the life of 5 elephants - Champa, Sita, Mohan, Lakhi and Luna - all of whom passed away after suffering decades of neglect. Most importantly, the memorial attempts to highlight the need of preventing other elephants from facing similar fates.

We will be installing benches in our Memorial Garden and are offering the opportunity to have a name and dedication of your choosing inscribed on a plaque attached to one bench in the garden. There is a limited number of benches we will have in the garden so don't miss out on this special opportunity.
