elephants are making their way around the globe to tell the story of our over-populated planet, the effect of human encroachment on wild spaces and the inspiring ways we can coexist with animals.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Each unique elephant sculpture included in this project was meticulously handcrafted by the tribal communities in the Nilgiri Hills of Southern India, home to 150\u00a0 wild elephants and a quarter of a million people who live alongside each other in complete harmony.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\"
