Koren, Cody, & the kids were very busy building Katie a 'dorm room' in their basement.

OUR MISSION
Eighty Elephant's vision is to increase awareness and appreciation of elephant conservation efforts. Our long-term goal is to proudly increase the protection and support of this endangered species by 80%! Hence, Eighty Elephants!
Our love for elephants can be more than just fashion statements — Wear love & give love right back!
WHY?
Elephants are understood in many cultures as great symbols of kindness, strength and endurance. However, the reality today is the extreme opposite.
Humans have long exploited these loving creatures, brutally killing them for their tusks. Tusks which are then used for ivory to make piano keys, billiard balls and other items of vain, human enjoyment. The record price of ivory has led to even organised criminal trafficking to poach elephants on a daily basis, threatening their homes, families and very existence.
National Geographic recently published that over 100,000 elephants have been killed by poachers, which has declined the African elephant population by 64% so far.
Eighty Elephants is an initiative to protect this rapidly endangered species from any more harm and cruelty — but we cannot do this without your help.
HOW?
By purchasing any of our elephant-themed products right here on this site, you lend a helping hand to provide safety and happiness to an elephant in need. A portion of ALL proceeds will go directly from your helping hands to charities that Eighty Elephants partner with.


Taylore had also tagged me in a crochet unicorn pattern some time ago...found an already made adorable unicorn...
