Conch Press is proud to donate a percentage of the sales of The Story of the Ethical Elephants to support the following charities:

Through buying a copy of this book you will support both charities: Elephant Family and The Aspinall Foundation.  These organisations are dedicated to the welfare and conservation of elephants, along with educating people about these beautiful creatures and their habitat.  Each purchase will help secure 10m2 of corridor land in India and will feed one of the elephants at Howletts and Port Lympne Wild Animal Park – which is a lot seeing as they eat 7 bales of hay, 7 trays of carrots, 5 bags of parsnips and 1 box of apples, bananas, oranges, maize, peanuts and bran a week!!!

Thank you from the Elephants

Elephant Family

Elephant Family is the UK’s biggest funder for the endangered Asian elephant.

Massive habitat loss has caused their numbers to plummet by 90% in the past 100 years, earning them an unwanted place on the IUCN red list.

Elephant Family exists to save this iconic animal from extinction in the wild, along with tigers, orangutans and all the other animals who share their habitat. Working with local people and partner NGOs, we currently fund 12 projects across Asia and invest where we are needed most: to protect habitat, prevent conflict and reconnect the forest homes of the endangered Asian elephant.

Aspinall Foundation

The Aspinall Foundation is a registered charity that is actively involved with several projects that incorporate a diverse range of conservation activities both at their Kent based Howletts and Port Lympne Wild Animal Parks, in addition to well-established overseas projects in the Republic of Congo and Gabon and more recent developing projects in Indonesia and Madagascar. Our main spheres of conservation-based activity include captive breeding, education, ecosystem management, local community education projects, capacity building, habitat surveys and the rehabilitation of confiscated wild animals. 

Bush Flower Essences

Each of the Ethical Elephants are named after Ian White’s Australian Bush Flower Essences.  If you wish to develop the talents and qualities of a certain elephant, then you can take the associated Essence to enhance their character traits.

The Natural History Museum

The museum promotes the discovery, understanding, enjoyment, and responsible use of the natural world. Explore their world-class collections, fantastic exhibitions and cutting-edge research online, or visit their landmark buildings.

Conch Press has produced a FREE Ethical Elephant Activity Sheet  which guides children around the museum and encourages them to use all of the facilities to answer the questions.  Click Here to download a copy and HERE to download the answers.
