In creating the theme, I wanted to portray the plight of elephants. Less than 50,000 elephants remain in the wild. With this shrinking of the species, they are considered endangered.1 One would never think that humans are the ones that placed these animals in danger. Humans continually encroaching on the elephants' habitat leave them struggling to survive with less resources. However, illegal poaching is the greatest threat.
The most sensible action that can be taken is to reduce the illegal trade. In order to accomplish this, demand for the elephant's ivory must be reduced also. Currently, there are a few organizations that aids in the protection of elephants.
My theme consists of anonymous individuals and magical items attempting to help the elephants. I located a suitable image for a mysterious magical female. Other images complement the theme. I feel the collage brings out the essence of my theme.
Below are the images I utilized:
