Meet The Visionary Behind Living Elephant
Felicia, the founder of Living Elephant, is a passionate mother of three humans with a heart full of dreams and a vision for making a significant impact on the world. Her drive goes beyond curating beautiful home goods and furniture; she’s committed to supporting a cause that’s deeply personal to her—saving elephants. Felicia’s fascination with elephants stems from their remarkable emotional depth. Elephants are known for their ability to empathize and mourn their loved ones, displaying behaviors and emotions that reveal an extraordinary level of intelligence and sensitivity. Did you know that elephants have the largest brains of any land animal, which helps them remember the locations of water sources over vast distances? Additionally, they use infrasound to communicate with each other across long distances, a testament to their complex social structures. And, intriguingly, elephants can recognize themselves in a mirror, a sign of self-awareness that’s rare in the animal kingdom.
Elephants play a crucial role in their ecosystems as keystone species. They help shape their environment by dispersing seeds, creating water holes, and even modifying the landscape. Their presence is essential for maintaining the balance of their habitats. Unfortunately, these majestic creatures are now endangered primarily due to poaching for their ivory and habitat destruction. As their natural habitats are encroached upon and the illegal ivory trade continues, elephant populations are dwindling. However, there is hope. Individuals can contribute to their survival by supporting conservation efforts, advocating for stronger wildlife protection laws, and educating others about the importance of protecting these magnificent animals. Together, we can learn to coexist!
By supporting Living Elephant, you’re not just enhancing your home; you’re also contributing to a larger cause. We proudly donate a portion of our proceeds to The Elephant Crisis Fund, a leading organization dedicated to preventing harm and aiding emergency situations for elephants. This fund is actively involved in lobbying for legislation to end the ivory trade in China and other countries, playing a pivotal role in policy discussions and enforcement efforts. Their work is critical in both protecting existing populations and ensuring that future generations can experience the wonder of these incredible animals.
Diving Deeper Into The Cause
The Elephant Crisis Fund (ECF), established in 2013 through a collaboration between Save the Elephants, the Wildlife Conservation Network, and the Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation (now Re:Wild), is dedicated to addressing the urgent threats facing elephants. The fund provides crucial financial support to both NGOs and governmental agencies involved in combating poaching, trafficking, and the illegal ivory trade. It also promotes innovative strategies to mitigate human-elephant conflicts and protect vital elephant habitats. By offering flexible and responsive funding, the ECF ensures that both large-scale international organizations and smaller grassroots groups have the resources they need to make a significant impact on elephant conservation.
Since its inception, the ECF has allocated over $36 million to 474 projects across 44 countries, demonstrating a global commitment to tackling the ivory crisis. This funding has supported diverse initiatives, from investigating illegal ivory markets in East Asia to conducting aerial surveillance and developing new conflict resolution techniques. Despite ongoing challenges such as rising poaching rates and habitat loss, the ECF remains steadfast in its mission to provide financial backing and drive effective conservation efforts until the threats to elephant populations are resolved and their numbers begin to recover.
