Brightly coloured elephants have appeared all across Cardiff as part of a 3 week-long open air art exhibition. Funds raised will go towards the conservation of Asian elephants.
Elephant Parade, presented by Intu, has marched its way across the globe raising awareness of the plight of Asian elephants. The pieces will then be auctioned off and the money raised will go to charities including the Asian Elephant Foundation.

The 14 statues have been designed by many famous figures including Wale’s own presenter Alex Jones and have set up camp in some of the iconic locations in Cardiff including the Wales Millenium Centre and Cardiff Central Library.
“It’s really spreading like wildfire” says founder Mike Spits, “it’s heart-warming that people appreciate it; I never expected it to become such a big thing.”
