Introducing
Kristin Davis
"I am committed to rallying support for The Great Elephant Migration to help increase awareness of conservation issues and raise funds for vital projects to protect our planet and all who call it home. My life-long love of elephants deepened during a visit to Kenya in 2009, when I unexpectedly found myself assisting with the rescue of an orphaned baby elephant, Chaimu. I have since been dedicated to supporting The Sheldrick Wildlife Trust, a partner for the Great Elephant Migration, who do inspiring work caring for elephants and protecting their habitat. I am delighted that a sculpture of Chaimu – now 16 years old and reintegrated back into the wild - will be amongst the herd migrating across America on this magnificent adventure to inspire human-wildlife coexistence.”
