Roselephant by Jane Veveris Calla and sponsored by BT
'I was inspired by the Elephant corridors, so painted trails of elephant families walking between the 'tree of life' and other trees alongside water. There are two gold elephants amidst sunset pinks to represent how precious they are.'

Don't forget to sign the petition for elephant corridors to allow the elephants to move about their territories. Go to the websites -

She was designed by Alan O'Connor inspired by cloud computing. Apparently each cloud represents something about the Asian Elephant. It was sponsored by salesforce.com
