"Save the African Elephants" - An Exhibition by the Department of the Environment

The Department of the Environment is organising the photographic exhibition "Save the African Elephants," in partnership with the SEA Associations and the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust. The aim is to raise the awareness of as many people as possible of this cause. The elephant is in danger of extinction; it is hunted for its ivory and suffers from a lack of access to water. The exhibition is on show at the Pêcheurs Gallery, for maximum visibility.
