Headlines:Jumbo Exhibition in Bengaluru: A Life-Sized Pledge for Human-Wildlife Harmony
Feb 3, 2024 – An extraordinary exhibition promoting coexistence between humans and wildlife has arrived in Bengaluru. The "Jumbo Exhibition on Coexistence" features 100 life-sized elephant sculptures made from lantana, a notorious invasive plant species. These sculptures, unveiled as part of the event, highlight the pressing issue of man-animal conflict in the region.
The exhibition, which runs until March 3, showcases lantana elephants placed strategically across the city, including near government buildings. Through this initiative, organizers aim to raise awareness about the importance of peaceful coexistence between humans and wildlife amidst increasing conflicts.
The endeavor is part of the broader Coexistence Consortium's mission, dedicated to fostering harmony between humans and animals. The consortium, as outlined on its website, strives to address the challenges of human-wildlife conflict through innovative approaches, education, and community engagement.
