This follows 11 successful parades that have been held in major cities around the world - including Amsterdam, Singapore, London, Copenhagen and Milan. Millions have been raised for Asian elephant conservation projects through the sale of the elephants and previous parades have included contributions from top artists and celebrities, including: Paul Smith, Ferrari, Jodie Kidd, Jack Vettriano, Mackenzie Thorpe, Ricky Gervais, Leona Lewis, Tommy Hilfiger, Joss Stone, and Aston Martin.

Our newsroom will provide a convenient single platform that will give our followers a one-stop shop for the latest news on our various parades and the work of the Asian Elephant Foundation – and in the format people want. With three new parades announced for this year across the UK, US and Luxembourg, it is the perfect time to be teaming up with Mynewsdesk.”
