This
collaborative online event involved the construction of a life-sized
structure of a Indian Elephant in the UK in answer to a corresponding
life-sized structure of the Cornish
Sailboat in India, with the participation of children and design
students.
This
website was designed to provide information on Indian elephants to
the children at Cornwall, U K
We
shall soon have many interactive features on the subject of Indian
elephant. The site will be constantly refreshed with new material.
In case you like to have anything specific put up on the site, please
let us know.
