I have decided that all proceeds from sales of this photo will go to The Elephant Sanctuary.
Here are the details:
$10 from the sale of this photograph will be donated directly to The Elephant Sanctuary, a 4-star rated charity by Charity Navigator.
From the Sanctuary's site:
The Elephant Sanctuary in Tennessee, founded in 1995, is the nation's largest natural habitat refuge developed specifically for endangered African and Asian elephants. It operates on 2,700 acres in Hohenwald, Tennessee - 85 miles southwest of Nashville.
The Elephant Sanctuary exists for two reasons:
To provide a haven for old, sick or needy elephants in a setting of green pastures, old-growth forests, spring-fed ponds and a heated barn for cold winter nights.
To provide education about the crisis facing these social, sensitive, passionately intense, playful, complex, exceedingly intelligent and endangered creatures.

$10 (that's 20%) from the sale of this drawing will be donated directly to the Monterey Bay Aquarium (CA), a 4-star rated charity by www.charitynavigator.org.
"Opened in 1984, the Monterey Bay Aquarium seeks to inspire conservation of the oceans. From the beginning, we planned our permanent exhibits as a walk through Monterey Bay's beautiful natural communities. In 1996, we almost doubled our exhibit space with the opening of the Outer Bay Wing, devoted to the open ocean and deep sea. The main feature is the Outer Bay Waters exhibit, the one-million-gallon tank containing tuna, sharks and sea turtles. The aquarium has an active research program. We have groups working on sea otter conservation and tuna conservation biology. About 1.8 million people visit us each year."

$10 (that's 20%) from the sale of this drawing will be donated directly to the American Bird Conservancy, a 4-star rated charity by www.charitynavigator.org.
"American Bird Conservancy's (ABC) mission is to conserve wild birds and their habitats throughout the Americas. It is the only U.S.-based, group dedicated solely to overcoming the greatest threats facing birds in the Western Hemisphere. A growing human population, consuming ever greater resources, is critically impacting bird populations through habitat destruction, direct mortality from such harmful practices as the unwise use of pesticides, and the introduction of destructive species including domestic cats. ABC believes adequate resources exist to overcome these threats, and that unifying people, organizations, and agencies around common approaches to priority issues is the key to success."
