Mali in the City

Common pictures that have shown up on my 365 Project blog are elephant sculptures. For a while, I've wondered why elephants are starting to populate the city, and here's the answer.

A spectacular exhibition featuring fifty life-sized painted elephant sculptures inspired by Mali, the Zoo's first Asian Elephant calf, to celebrate Melbourne Zoo's 150th Anniversary in 2012.

Mali is an ambassador for many species facing extinction. She represents Zoos Victora's commitment to fighting the extinction of threatened species in Australia and overseas.

Zoos Victoria works with our community to reduce the threats that humans pose to wildlife. We have madea commitment to ensure that no more Victorian land-based species will go extinct on our watch.
