HOW IT ALL BEGANElephant Parade was founded by father and son Marc and Mike Spits in 2006.

Whilst on holiday in Thailand, Marc met a baby elephant named Mosha, who had lost her leg after stepping on a landmine. Mosha inspired Marc and Mike to create Elephant Parade.

In 2007, the first exhibition was held in Rotterdam, The Netherlands. The ‘Friends of the Asian Elephant’ Hospital - Mosha’s home base in Lampang, was one of the first organizations to receive contributions generated by Elephant Parade and structurally continues to receive funds for taking care of Mosha.

In 2008, Mosha was the first baby elephant in the world to receive a prosthetic leg which was jointly funded by Elephant Parade.

Mike Spits, Founder

“We wanted to do something structural, something that would be profitable in the long run. This is the only way in which we can provide the elephant a sustainable future” - Mike Spits

FACTS & FIGURES** November 2015

LET’S SAVE ELEPHANTS!The African and Asian elephants are endangered and desperately need our help. Loss of natural habitat, ivory poaching and human-elephant conflict are the biggest issues threatening elephants.

33,000 African elephants are killed each year, or 1 elephant every 15 minutes, mainly from poaching.

There are less than 50,000 Asian elephants left. In the last 100 years, their habitat has shrunk by 95% and their population has declined by 70%.

Known as the “gardeners of the earth”, many plants and animals depend on elephants for their own lives. If elephants disappeared, many other species would too.

The elephant will become extinct in 30 years if we do not do something right now. Elephant Parade is committed to raising funds to make a difference and to help save elephants.

Be part of it.
