Gala 2014
Gala 2014: An Elephant’s Tale was held on Thursday, June 12 at the Central Park Zoo. Welcoming more than 550 guests, the event was a celebration of the majestic elephant and WCS’s efforts to save the remaining populations of these gentle giants. WCS was delighted to honor Clinton Foundation leaders Hillary Rodham Clinton and Chelsea Clinton and longtime WCS Trustee Diane Christensen for their active roles and partnerships that help WCS realize its mission.
An Elephant’s Tale: The Matriarch tells the story of a single elephant, but provides powerful testimony to the experience of the species as a whole at this crucial moment in its existence. Together, we must work to ensure that we are not remembered as the generation that let elephants disappear.
