#MarchForGiants was born in March 2017 with multiple national press articles promoting the campaign in March 2017.
View 2017 campaign videoThe shocking findings of 2016's Great Elephant Census revealed that the African elephant population dropped by approximately 144,000 elephants between 2007 - 2014, reducing the overall population by a third. Most were killed for their tusks. #MarchForGiants was born as a response to this crisis. It is a bold, global campaign which unites passionate people and brands to raise awareness and critical funds to protect elephants.
“A bold global strategy was needed to increase awareness and socially celebrate those who donate.”
In 2017, #MarchForGiants created the world's first virtual ‘herd’ of elephants. Over 3,000 people, 13 leading brands and celebrities including Ricky Gervais, Elizabeth Hurley and Mark Hamill joined the March by creating and sharing their own personalised digital elephant. Over five days in March 2017 this ‘herd' marched across digital billboards in New York, London, Hong Kong, Manchester and Birmingham.
“ We must act now to protect elephants, before its too late”
The #MarchForGiants campaign had over 38 million Twitter impressions and generated national media coverage, including Vogue and The Daily Mail, that equated to more than 48 million readers. Importantly, it also raised a huge amount of money for international conservation charity Space for Giants which works on the ground in Africa to protect elephants. Space for Giants has already helped reduce poaching by 84% where it works in Kenya.
In 2018 #MarchForGiants will be even bigger. After marching across billboards, the 'herd' will arrive in Botswana to a Summit hosting African Heads of State, who together hold half of Africa's remaining elephants, as well as statespeople from Asia, America and Europe. #MarchForGiants will go directly to the decision makers who have the power to protect elephants.
