Nua Oon is an endangered Asian elephant who was born on June 12, 2004. She was 16 yrs old when she painted this picture. This scene of two elephants, a tree, and the sun is her thing. She loves to paint it. As you can see, this is an interesting variation of Nua Oon 15yrs.
Throughout history, elephants have been revered by the Thai people and remain a permanent symbol of their culture. The Asian elephant population has significantly declined due to habitat loss and agricultural mechanization. Regrettably, these beautiful animals are now on the endangered species list. As we learned from the extinction of the Passenger Pigeon, an immediate and honest conservation effort must be made to defend the Asian elephant against its extinction.
Kindness forward: The royal Thai Elephant Conservation Center receives 50% of the profit
The royal Thai Elephant Conservation Center (TECC) in Lampang is a valuable and effective conservation effort by the royal Thai government. The TECC is home to a first of its kind, The Friends of the Asian Elephant Hospital, whose mission is that no sick or injured elephant will ever be turned away. At most recent count, the TECC helps and cares for 111 elephants - about 10 of these are painters and 12 are rare white elephants. Due to the enormous expense involved in the care and conservation of these noble spirits and because of the TECC's limited fundraising capabilities, cheapshit.com has stepped in to:
- ensure the withdrawal of these elephants from the endangered species list forever
- deliver to our customers a lifetime conversation piece they can enjoy everyday
- pay kindness forward
