After suffering from abuse for nearly five decades, Luna finally came to the Wildlife SOS Elephant Hospital for treatment in the month of February. Her weakened state and severely arthritic limbs resulted in chronic pain that followed her around like a shadow. We were all touched by the remarkable spirit she had to fight all the odds against her. However, her pain was much to great and she couldn’t continue to fight.

She passed away in her sleep on the 30th of March, with her keeper beside her. We were able to get a few of her footprints while she was with us and are offering this limited collection to our supporters. 

About the artist:

‘Singapore based Artist Alpana Ahuja supports Wildlife SOS, by collaborating with the rescued elephants and creating the ‘Padhchinh’ (footprint in Sanskrit) series of paintings. Started in 2013, this collaboration has raised much-needed funds for the elephants. Gentle Elephant Phoolkali was the first co-artist and over the years many elephants like Lakshmi, Wally, Suraj, Mohan, and Gajraj have participated.
