KISS THE HERD GOODBYE 💋🐘💋🐘💋🐘💋🐘💋🐘💋🐘💋

It’s the LAST day and what a mighty great migration it has been.

Come along to Beverly Gardens Park and kiss the herd goodbye with , who powered us to the finish line, on a 1,000 mile journey that took the elephants across seven states, through mountains and deserts, all the way to the west coast, surrounded by champions of human-wildlife coexistence from all corners of the globe.

On this last day, we are celebrating that journey, the herd’s heroic call for coexistence and the wild world we all share. It’s not the end, it’s the beginning of a powerful new chapter in conservation.

See you there, kisses at the ready. 💋🐘💋

The journey to the finish line was captured by Matriarch and visual storytelling genius (📷 5). Enormous thank you to , and for the love they showed the elephants and their generous support of the journey to the finish line. ❤️

The herd are wrapping their trunks around the memory of a great Matriarch today, and the wonderful human who brought them all the way to their finishing line here in Beverly Hills.

Wallis Annenberg’s heart was as big as a blue whales’ and an entire animal kingdom can be grateful for the remarkable wildlife overpass she made possible. Pictured are the elephants on her crossing - the place they longed to pay homage to and make their symbolic finishing line.

When an elephant matriarch is lost, her herd gathers in mourning to remember and honor her leadership. Now, gathered opposite , 100 elephants are raising their trunks to salute her.

Elephants never forget, and they will never forget you Wallis.

The Human Race Share Space 🐘🌸

The herd’s stay in Beverly Hills has been made possible thanks to a very special friendship with some inspired Italian friends in Turin and their fragrant world called , a much celebrated luxury Italian perfume Maison. A loyal champion of human-wildlife coexistence, Xerjoff launched a delicious and beautiful (and especially made for the herd!) CoExistence fragrance as part of their Spray to Help campaign. What adorable friends to have! 🌷🌼🌺🐘🌺🌼🌷

This special scent, infused with jasmine, rose, and sandalwood, all native to Asian elephant habitats, has helped carry the herd’s message across continents. Every beautiful, hand-painted bottle supports our mission, with proceeds going to the coexistence cause. An inspired way to support the herd’s mission if you don’t have room for an elephant in your garden. Visit the link in our bio to find out more.

This journey across continents has been powered by acts of friendship and no more so than the creation of this next act by dear friends from the design worlds and one of India’s great creative minds, Vikram Goyal.

The idea to wrap the herd took shape after we were invited to an All Night Smoke by our partners at INDIGENOUS LED - an enormous honor. It was a moving experience and what struck me was the powerful presence of blankets. It was explained that blankets are symbolic: given to mark the end of something meaningful, or as a way of showing respect.

That idea stayed with me. It felt poignant and brought me back to the elephants. I began thinking about how we might mark the completion of their year long journey across America. How could we honor them in a way that symbolized the magnitude of what they had done?

Memories of baby elephant orphans at Sheldrick Wildlife Trust in Nairobi, each one wrapped in soft blanket for comfort, along with sanctuaries in Thailand came to mind, where communities of women knitted onesies for the elephants when the weather turns cold.

‘Wrapped in History’ was born. With Vikram’s imaginative curation, this is a collaboration involving leading designers and Indigenous textile artists, each creating a one-of-a-kind blanket. Contributors include familiar names and others overdue their own standing ovations; from Chanakya School of Craft to Ralph Lauren, Raw Mango and Sabyasachi, Johanna Ortiz, Love Brand & Co., Emporio Sirenuse, the Maasai community from Lion Guardians, and members of the Ute tribe with INDIGENOUS LED.

The results are astonishing. The visual impact and the emotional energy that’s gone into each piece; the diversity of designs, the thousands of hours invested and the extraordinary skill of hundreds of artisans — all speak to the love and passion behind the project.

Culturally it shifts the image of an elephant in a blanket to one of respect, relationship and completion. Ideas that sit at the heart of the migration.

Beverly Hills, the herd awaits you.

“Every category we humans use to communicate with one another is essential and art and scale are both powerful and impossible to ignore. These giant, beautiful beings touring the world speak louder and more profoundly than any orator or activist can possibly be.

Their texture speaks of their home territories, they speak of the Indigenous communities who are the guardians of so many wild areas that are left on earth today. It’s my firm belief that we are long past the time when electing to abdicate our futures is a choice. Sitting on the sidelines and wringing our hands is not action nor is it acceptable.

No matter where you are, what you do, there is a role for you to step up to the long front of people around the world who choose health, beauty and life - this is the message the March of the Great Elephants brings to us so clearly.” -

Making this finale extra fragrant is world leading perfumer who created CoExistence, a special perfume inspired by the flowers found in Asian elephant habitats. Each gorgeous hand painted bottle supports the herd’s coexistence mission.

Happy BIG birthday to ! The elephants are trumpeting your message of peace, love and coexistence to the world with you 🎶!

Over the last 40 years, India’s human population has doubled, and yet so has the number tigers, elephants, lions and rhinos. These lantana elephants are created by who have replicated each of the real wild elephants they live alongside in the Nilgiri hills of south India. They coexist in remarkable ways, owed to a perspective towards nature that sees every living being as sacred. The wind has a spirit, whispering secrets to the trees as she moves through. The stars, rocks, rivers, trees, plants and animals are all part of a big family.

Humanity can learn from these elephants and the people who created them. These same values can help us live better alongside animals and our fellow human beings alike, with PEACE, LOVE & COEXISTENCE.

✌🏼❤️🐘❤️✌🏼

The Beverly Hills chapter is presented by the one and only , whose gorgeous CoExistence perfume is helping people and animals coexist all around the world.

A fragrant finish line in Beverly Hills 🐘✨

They have crossed oceans, highways, beaches and endless plains. Walked clifftops & cobblestones through sand and snow. Made millions of friends and spoken for all animals great and small.

Their migration speaks for the millions of wild animals navigating plantations, highways, and urban spaces around the world through their story from India where they live alongside their creators, , who live alongside their real life counterparts and know them as extended family.

To the Matriarchs, Tuskers, the mighty movers, shakers, lifters, loaders, cheerleaders, and champions who helped carry this herd from east to west coast; and to who have been behind them from the very first step, the herd salutes you and your heroic support.

Their epic final journey was powered by , who have backed conservation efforts in every continent for the last 20 years and , the ultimate travel partner for wild adventures and great big summer roadtrips.

Their migration is now complete, but the elephants still have a remarkable story to tell - come and listen in Beverly Gardens Park from July 1 - August 1.

📍Browning, MT - 1,700 miles to the finish line

A new frontier in conservation dawns. Indigenous Peoples have always practised coexistence with the natural world. Over the last few days, the creators of the herd have been reunited with their elephants for the first time since they waved them farewell one year ago, when this adventure began. They gathered in Montana, with members of the Blackfeet community and our Maasai friends from Kenya, in a powerful moment of cultural exchange around the herd, marking an evolution of thought and approach in wildlife conservstaion efforts globally.

Next stop, Jackson Hole, to reunite with the rest of the herd and The Matriarchy. The drums are beating, and the road is calling...
