Elephant Parade Launches German Language Website to Strengthen European Presence

Aalsmeer, November 5, 2025 - Elephant Parade, the world's largest open-air art exhibition featuring hand-painted elephant sculptures, has announced the launch of its German language website at elephantparade.com/de. This strategic expansion reinforces the organization's commitment to its home continent of Europe while maintaining its established global presence across Asia, the Americas, and beyond.

Since its founding in 2006, Elephant Parade has captivated millions of visitors worldwide with its unique blend of art, business, and wildlife conservation. The initiative has hosted spectacular exhibitions in major international cities including London, Amsterdam, Singapore, Hong Kong, Bangkok, Mumbai, and Dubai, bringing attention to the urgent need for Asian elephant conservation through creativity and community engagement.

Bridging Global Reach with Local Accessibility

The decision to launch a dedicated German language platform reflects Elephant Parade's evolution as an international movement. While the organization has achieved remarkable visibility across continents, the new website aims to deepen connections within Europe, particularly in the German-speaking markets of Germany, Austria, and Switzerland.

"Although Elephant Parade enjoys worldwide recognition and presence on every continent, it was important for us to be more strongly represented in our home continent of Europe," explains the organization. The German website provides seamless access to the full collection of handcrafted elephant sculptures, information about upcoming exhibitions, and details about the conservation projects supported through Elephant Parade initiatives.

The platform enables German-speaking art enthusiasts, conservationists, and businesses to engage more directly with the movement's mission. From individual collectors seeking unique art pieces to corporations interested in custom designs for social responsibility initiatives, the website serves as a comprehensive resource for all aspects of Elephant Parade's work.

Art with Purpose: The Elephant Parade Story

Elephant Parade was founded by father and son Marc and Mike Spits after Marc encountered Mosha, a young elephant who had lost her leg to a landmine, during a visit to Thailand. Moved by her story and the broader challenges facing Asian elephants, the Spits family created an innovative platform that transforms elephant conservation into an accessible, engaging experience for people worldwide.

Each Elephant Parade sculpture is a unique work of art, hand-painted by local and international artists. These eye-catching installations serve multiple purposes: they raise awareness about the plight of endangered Asian elephants, generate funding for conservation projects, and create memorable experiences that inspire action. The sculptures often reflect local culture and artistic traditions, making each exhibition a celebration of both wildlife and human creativity.

Through partnerships with conservation organizations, including Elephant Family, Elephant Parade directly supports projects across Asia that work to protect elephants and their habitats. These initiatives address critical issues such as human-elephant conflict, habitat loss, and the welfare of elephants in captivity.

Expanding Impact Through Digital Innovation

The launch of the German website represents more than a translation exercise. It demonstrates Elephant Parade's understanding that meaningful engagement requires meeting audiences in their own language and cultural context. The platform features localized content, region-specific information about exhibitions and events, and streamlined purchasing options for collectors and corporate clients in German-speaking markets.

For businesses, the website highlights opportunities for collaboration through custom elephant designs, corporate social responsibility partnerships, and event sponsorships. Companies can commission bespoke elephant sculptures that reflect their brand values while contributing to wildlife conservation, creating a powerful intersection of art, business ethics, and environmental stewardship. Educational institutions and cultural organizations will also find valuable resources on the platform, including information about bringing Elephant Parade exhibitions to their cities and engaging communities in conservation education through art.

Looking Ahead

As Elephant Parade continues to grow its global footprint, the organization remains committed to its core mission: using creativity and innovation to protect endangered Asian elephants. The German website launch is part of a broader digital strategy to ensure that Elephant Parade's message resonates across linguistic and cultural boundaries.

With exhibitions planned for Bangkok and Amsterdam in 2025, and ongoing displays in locations worldwide, Elephant Parade continues to prove that art can be a powerful catalyst for conservation. The organization invites German-speaking audiences to explore the new website, discover unique elephant sculptures, and join a global community working to secure a future for Asian elephants.
