Two hundred and sixty brightly painted life-sized fiberglass elephants have appeared across London.

Part of an innovative campaign to save the endangered Asian elephant, the outdoor art event, aptly named The Elephant Parade, was organized by the charity group Elephant Family. The elephants were decorated by a number of artists, celebrities and designers including Emma Sergeant, Storm Thorgerson, Jack Vettriano, Lulu Guinness and Julien MacDonald.

The campaign was aimed to highlight the plight of the Asian elephant, whose numbers have declined by around 90 percent in the past 100 years.
