About Herd of Hope

The Herd of Hope are making their way through the iconic Spitalfields Market in London. Without action, wild elephants could become extinct within our lifetime due to poaching, human-wildlife conflict and climate change.

Created by internationally acclaimed artists Gillie and Marc, the elephant sculptures are raising funds and awareness for the next generation of elephants who will grow up into the healthy, supported and loved elephants of tomorrow thanks to the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust.
