About Elephant Parade
It all started with the story of Moshe, a brave baby elephant who lost part of your leg when she stepped on a land mine in Thailand. Inspired by this story, Marc and Mike Spits, father and son, founded the Elephant Parade in 2006. The first view was made in Rotterdam, in the Netherlands, in 2007. “Friends of the Elephant Hospital”, home to Mosha on Thailand, It was the first organization to receive contributions generated by the event.
In addition to Mosha, the first elephant in the world to receive a prosthetic, the Elephant Parade currently generates resources for the care of hundreds of other elephants.
Loss of natural habitat, trade in ivory and conflicts between humans and elephants are the main problems that threaten this species.
