I love coming across great brands on a mission. I remember when I started out, I had a vision, I had the motivation, I had a purpose and I wanted to let all of you know about it. Well, here I am, four years later with over 195,000 readers a month. Yes, I am just as surprised as you! Have you heard of The Elephant Pants? They have a great mission and approach.
THEIR APPROACH
WILDLIFE PROTECTION AND JUSTICE
Building and sustaining forces on the ground, and the judicial capacity, that are both needed to provide a significant and lasting deterrent against poaching
SECURING HABITAT
Supporting innovative approaches to land tenure and management that secure and maintain priority landscapes critical for the survival of elephants, while creating economic and social benefits for local communities
MINIMISING COSTS OF LIVING WITH WILDLIFE
Providing technical solutions to reduce frictions and conflict between elephants and expanding human populations in fast-developing economies
CONNECTING PEOPLE WITH NATURE
Telling new audiences stories of the threats to elephants and of conservation successes, including by providing extraordinary experiences connecting the global community with wild animals and their landscapes
It's awesome, don't you think? They have a website that sells Elephant themed products. For every item sold, they donate $1. That's a pretty big deal. We got to review a pair of their elephant pants, my daughter loves them.
She got the Rombo Purple Harem Pants. Well, who is Rombo? Rombo is an adolescent Asian elephant, orphaned by poachers and discovered by members of the village of Oltepes in the Rombo area of western Kenya. Thanks to the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust, Rombo now lives peacefully in a wildlife reserve.
She loves the fit and style. It has wide side pockets with the elastic top and ankles. They allow for comfortable movement for any activity.
She loves the elephant stories too.
Look at these stories from some of the elephants.
Lydia was born in 1943 in Thailand and was sold to many circuses before she ended up with David Tesch. For 30 years Lydia lived a solitary life, in which many of those years was drove from Florida to York, and Maine during the summer to give rides and provide other entertainment. Multiple times the USDA cited Tesch for violating the Animal Welfare Act. Upon her death in 2013 no statement or acknowledgment was released by Tesch.
Wendi was brought to the Sheldrick Wildlife nursery as a very young infant, umbilical cord still attached. She was found near and Imenti Forest all alone after her herd fled because of human disturbance. Her name “Wendi” means Hope in the Meru tribal dialect.

Surapa is a 32-year-old female Asian elephant born in India who currently resides at the Buffalo Zoo. Like Tai, Surapa is an avid painter whose work often sells at the Zoo Gift Shop. Surapa has been described by her trainers as “a bit of a diva”, which confirms her true artistic mentality. She frequently interacts with visitors, and her favorite meal consists of a large cake of watermelon, bread, and hay, which is traditionally given to her on her birthday.
Mona was euthanized June 21, 2007, at the Birmingham Zoo in Birmingham, Alabama. Thought, at 60, to have been the oldest Asian elephant in the United States. After the death of her companion, Susie, Mona's health, and living conditions were the subject of a long campaign to have her transferred out of the zoo to a sanctuary.
On the night of October 28, 2005, wails were heard coming from an open-faced mine on Mukiki Rancha in Kenya. A young 8-week old elephant, later known as Zurura, had been found in the mine, alone and afraid after she had been abandoned by her herd after falling in. The mine is located between Tsavo West and East which is also a migratory corridor used by elephants to move between the two regions. Elephants had taken to migrating this passage at night because of the dangers posed by increasing human populated in the area. After Zurura was rescued from the mine, she was taken to the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust where she was cared for and nursed.
Tyke was a circus elephant for Circus International who on August 20, 1994 in Honolulu, Hawaii, lashed out against her trainer and in response was shot and killed by police. Since the incident, Tyke has become symbolic of circus tragedies and a symbol for animal rights.
Annabelle was one of the first animals to live in the Alaska Zoo when it was founded in 1969. In 1966, in a Chiffon Tissue contest sponsored by Crown Zellerbach, the winner was given the option to choose between “$3,000 or a baby elephant”. The prize-winner, Anchorage grocer Jack Snyder, chose the elephant.
On the evening of 18th September 2006 the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust received news that a mother elephant had died on Ol Pejeta Ranch near Nanyuki, and with her was her milk dependent calf, Lenana. After discovering that Lenana was very ill, Batian Craig, the manager of the Ol Pejeta Ranch, stayed overnight with her until they could transport her for rehabilitation. She is now healthy and resides at the Ithumba Camp in Kenya.

Having been rescued from a difficult life of mistreatment and malnutrition on the streets, Seree has made tremendous progress in her emotional recovery, finding friends in her fellow elephants Khun Dej and Dani, with whom she spends a great deal of time.
Kalama is a five-month-old female African elephant who was discovered trapped in a well in the Kalama area of Northern Kenya and rescued by the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust.
