Asian Elephant Shirt
30% of the proceeds of this shirt go directly to support Trunks and Leaves in their research and conservation of Asian elephants.
The Asian elephant (Elephas maximus) is the largest land mammal on the Asian continent, but it is still smaller than its African counterparts. Their diet consists of roots, grasses, fruit, and bark, all of which they can eat up to 300 pounds a day of. All Asian elephants are currently classified as one species, although there are several subspecies.
Shapes in Nature is donating 30% of the proceeds of this shirt to Trunks and Leaves in an effort to help research and protect Asian elephants in their natural habitat. Trunks and Leaves is an organization dedicated to raising awareness about Asian elephants in order to foster long-term coexistence and education. Their current focus in Sri Lanka is a project called The Coexistence Project, which began in 2016. With the research The Coexistence Project is gathering, they hope to help humans and elephants exist side-by-side using sustainable, community-based conservation.
