Photo Frames (made from elephant dung!)

Paper High sells these beautiful photo albums, made partly with elephant dung. These albums have a serious side. Abroad, wild elephants are often harmed, due to trampling on crops. So by paying local villagers to collect the dung, they see elephants as income opportunities (and friends) rather than competing for food.

And as the average elephant eats around the same as us chomping down 300 cans of baked beans each day, that’s a lot of dung!

There are also photo albums, to display everyday or wedding photos. Each album has unique flecks, depending on what your elephant friend ate that day!

You are also helping to provide income for a mostly female team of artisans in Sri Lanka who produce the beautiful albums, each one filled with 35 pages of handmade paddy husk paper (a by-product of the rice-milling industry).

It’s acid-free and interweaved with tissue paper, to protect and preserve your memories). Read more on how to save endangered elephants.
