British actress Joanna Lumley, Bollywood star Amy Jackson and TV presenter Donna Air joined a herd of life size lantana elephant sculptures as they crossed The Mall in front of Buckingham Palace, marking the next step of the CoExistence campaign. Pictured alongside the magnificent animals were a number of Ghurka guards.  It will be their responsibility to ensure the elephants remain guarded as they move into their next destination on the Kings Road and into the Royal Parks this summer.

 

Global Bollywood star and Elephant Family Ambassador Amy Jackson commented, “Following The Mall, these elephants will continue to make their way around the globe on their 13,000 mile migration. As they reach new places they will tell the story of our crowded planet, the effect of our human footprint on wild spaces and share inspiring ways we can coexist with all living beings that make our world magical – from tigers and badgers to nightingales and elephants.”  Along with Amy, Patron Donna Air also joined the migration to show her support to the CoExistence campaign.
