100 life‑size Indian elephant sculptures are migrating across continents to share their coexistence story with the world. This summer, their epic odyssey continues to Boston, which will welcome the 100-strong herd as they journey across the US, inspiring the Human Race to Share Space.

The elephants arrive as ambassadors for the animal kingdom. They migrate to remind us of the heroic journeys animals make every day, and to show that we too are part of planet Earth’s web of life. They come in peace, love, and coexistence.

Their first footsteps from the Nilgiri Hills of Southern India were taken in the UK in 2021, before the herd embarked on their epic east‑to‑west coast migration of the US, which began in Newport, Rhode Island in July 2024. From Newport, they travelled 5,000 miles across America, stopping in seven cities before reaching Beverly Hills in August 2025.

Each migration is carbon‑positive. Every elephant sculpture is made from lantana camara, one of the world’s most invasive plants. Clearing lantana from India’s Protected Areas allows it to be converted into biochar, and to date this effort has sequestered 2,625 tons of carbon.

The Problem

Every day, animals are making heroic journeys - across roads, through villages and into farmlands - to find food and habitat. Multilane highways, railways and streetlights crisscross their former homes and disorient their routes.

We live in world massively altered by humans. Animals everywhere are working out how to live with all this change. They detour, adopt nocturnal habits and reroute to live alongside us. Yet as towns, farms and infrastructure push deeper into their ranges, communities often lack the tools and cultural memory needed to also adapt and safely coexist.

National Parks and Protected Areas alone cannot safeguard the world’s remaining wild animals. Even the most well‑managed reserves are too small, too fragmented and too isolated for them to survive.

Unless we remember our relationship with nature, the wild will continue to fade away.

The Solution

Around the world, practical solutions are helping the human race, share space. Beehive fences, bird safe glass, underpasses, overpasses, GPS collars, phone alerts and local spotters are reducing conflict and creating safer spaces for us all.

But coexistence depends on more than infrastructure alone. It calls for a shift in perspective.

In some of the most densely populated parts of the world, people are already living alongside wildlife on a remarkable scale. In India – home to more than 1.4 billion people, with population densities exceeding 450 per square kilometre – farmers and communities share landscapes with elephants, tigers, lions and rhinos. And despite rising human populations, many of these species are recovering or increasing in number.

This coexistence reveals something important: when cultures value and make room for other species, people and wildlife can live together.
