Can elephant pooh save the Mara?
Wednesday, August 13, 2008 at 06:44PM And it's not even from our elephants.
Colleen, a great supporter of the Mara Conservancy, has come up with an innovative idea to sell journals and greeting cards made from elephant pooh, with all profits going to the Mara Conservancy.
Elephant Journals - "they're total crap."
Made from 100% elephant dung, when you buy these products not only are you raising money for the Mara Conservancy but you will also be helping elephant conservation projects in Thailand.
Greeting Cards - "send your friends crap in the post."
Go right now to Colleen's blog about Wild Eles to find out more and buy some for you and all your friends.
A great big thank you to Colleen for her ongoing support and all her fundraising ideas - Thank you!

Will check this out. Thanks Colleen!
Thanks Dana. If people order them for gifts, I'll print out some info on the Mara, perhaps the monthly report and put it in the package to help raise awareness. These products are quite fun and a good chunk goes to the Mara.
These are great. We sell them at the National Zoo along with the journals made from giant panda poop. Very attractive, nice quality paper, and I gave some as gifts a couple of years ago. Definitely nicer than the usual uses for poop.

This is a good idea Mr Kimojino,we hope from southern kenya.Lion Guardians will adopt the same idea for sustainable utilization of the Amboseli-Tsavo ecosystem.For the present and future generations.
