Чтобы способствовать сосуществованию людей и животных, перед Букингемским дворцом установлено 100 скульптур азиатских слонов в натуральную величину. Организация защиты Elephant Family провела их по торговому центру возле главной резиденции королевы в рамках кампании «Сосуществование». Кампания была запущена в ответ на «растущее совпадение между миром людей и животных, которое способствует распространению смертельных зоонозов».

The elephants will be displayed in numerous parks around London after their debut in central London, before going on sale for
