The Matriarchy

Elephant families are matriarchal with each herd led by an older, experienced female. A family usually consists of a mother, her sisters, daughters, and their babies. Good matriarch decisions balance the needs of the group, avoiding unnecessary travel while remembering when and where good resources are available. The women supporting The Great Elephant Migration do just that. Made up of influential women across diverse fields, including environmentalists, philanthropists, writers and creatives, The Matriarchy will rally support for human-wildlife coexistence.

Following installations on the East Coast, we invite wild spirits and adventurers to join The Matriarchy in leading the final leg of The Great Elephant Migration by electric truck to the finishing line of Los Angeles in late June 2025​. This will be a fundraising adventure and full details will be ready in September.
