FOUR PAWS is proud to partner with The Great Elephant Migration: A Coexistence Story, a public art installation organized by Elephant Family, a U.S. and U.K.-based nonprofit.The U.S. phase of the traveling exhibit features 100 life-sized elephant sculptures that will “migrate” over 3,500 miles across the U.S. through the summer of 2025, intending to raise millions for animal welfare efforts around the world. 

The herd is making its next stop in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. The National Museum of Wildlife Art (NMWA) will host The Great Elephant Migration from Saturday, May 17, 2025 until Friday, June 20, 2025. The Museum is open seven days a week from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. The Great Elephant Migration is included in the cost of general Museum admission. More info here. 

The public is invited to attend a free community celebration on Friday, May 30, 2025, from 5 to 7 p.m. Acclaimed Blackfeet painter and ledger artist Terrance Guardipee will lead a blessing of the elephants. Attendees can enjoy vegetarian samosas from Everest Momo Shack and beverages from Bar-SIP-Bar. A farewell event will also be hosted on the morning of Sunday, June 22, 2025.

The sculptures are crafted by indigenous artisans from India; each elephant is twinned with a conservation NGO, whose work directly benefits from the proceeds of their sculpture sales. The sculptures are meant to represent the importance of peaceful coexistence with animals while highlighting issues like human-elephant interactions.  

Each sculpture is for sale, with profits benefiting more than 20 NGOs supporting remarkable people around the world who have found ways to live alongside lions, leopards, elephants, and some of the planet’s most challenging animals. 

One of the elephants represents Madhubala whom FOUR PAWS reunited with her sisters in Pakistan in 2024. 

As The Great Elephant Migration travels across the U.S., it serves as a poignant reminder of our interconnectedness and the importance of compassion in creating a better world for wildlife. By participating in this exhibition, we can all contribute to raising awareness and supporting the vital work of organizations dedicated to helping elephants and other animals thrive.

Join us in celebrating The Great Elephant Migration and the inspiring story of Madhubala. Together, we can make a difference for elephants and promote a future where they can live freely and peacefully alongside humans.

Thank you for your commitment to animal welfare!
