Elephants are used as working animals around the world and, after their usefulness has ended due to injury or old age, they become a burden and are disgarded. The Millennium Foundation in Sri Lanka homes elephants and looks after them. We also support the work of The Elephant Family.
Man chops down trees to make way for buildings, crops, homes, etc so elephants have less and less varity and space to find their food from. When they stumble upon a field of crops, they eat them and destroy the harvest for many. Elephants that do this are seen as pests and are injured and sometimes killed to protect crops for villages.
Rhinoceros have been hunted for their horns for years and their numbers are very low throughout the world. We have been invited to be involved in partnership with Save the Rhino International based in London. More information about what they are trying to achieve can be seen on their website.
Elephant dung and rhinoserocos dung is obviously a waste product from the animals that would rot down into the ground. A very small proportion of the elephant dung and rhinoseros dung available is used to produce our products.
