Elephant Dung Greeting Card

Beautifully unique and super sustainable, our elephant dung greeting cards are the perfect gift for the elephant lover in your life. A special card for a special occasion that is just a little bit different! Made from genuine elephant poo (don't worry, it doesn't smell) it also helps to reduce global waste and makes a difference in the communities that produce it. The paper comes from a charity in Sri Lanka that helps to look after old, disabled and sick elephants. Each card is blank inside and comes with a matching envelope, also made from elephant dung. Made from: 75% elephant dung and 25% recycled paper. Hand-cut brass. Due to the handmade nature, the brass motif might vary slightly from the image. Dimensions: 11 x 15cm The products in our elephant dung range are made by skilled and creative artisans using elephant dung paper from the Maximus Elephant Conservation Trust. The ultimate in recycling, elephant dung is collected and boiled to sterilise it before the paper-making process. As unique as the animal that helped to produce it, each piece of paper is different depending on the diet of the elephant. Improving the outlook for the majestic elephants of Sri Lanka, Maximus has its workshop in the grounds of the Millennium Elephant Foundation (MEF), a wonderful small charity that cares for sick, old, and disabled elephants. Working with initiatives like Maximus, the foundation is able to show the positive relationship local economies can have with these amazing animals, and work towards resolving the conflict between the elephants and the local communities as they turn to eating farmers’ crops as their natural habitat is destroyed. By making a purchase, you are helping to continue the fantastic work of our producers.
