Poaching Crisis: The Elephant in Shanghai and Times Square - Asher Jay

It's difficult for people who live in the safety of large cities like New York and Shanghai to appreciate how hard it is to kill an animal as large as a rhino or an elephant. Asher Jay hopes to bring those images and sounds of death and impending extinction to the masses distant from Africa's grasslands with her powerful illustrations. Her work draws parallels betweens elephants and the pandas that China is so proud of, and also the vivid colors of blood that is spilled and the guns that are used when an elephant is killed for its ivory. Her most recent project is The Elephant in Times Square.
