Elephant on Rustic Map of Africa Art Poster

A young wild Elephant stands on African "soil" as emblem of this great nation and the World's largest land animal. Elephants are under severe threat in many parts of Africa (where they aren't already extinct). They are threatened by many factors such as predation by other wildlife, extreme weather and starvation, but their greatest threat is Man himself. Poachers take Elephants for their Ivory and illicit live animal smuggling operations to supply unscrupulous zoos and then there is the danger of walking into live war zones etc. However, there are some regions of Africa where these great beasts still roam in impressive numbers and follow their ancestral routes through naturally dangerous territories. Their racial memory is powerful. 25% of royalties from each sale of this beautiful art print is donated to the great Wildlife Direct at: www.wildlifedirect.org as they strive to protect these massive behemoths of an ancient land.
