FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
Environmental Encroachment, a Chicago funk
marching band,
adopts Enkesha the Elephant
Chicago, IL - November 18 2019 – Environmental
Encroachment, or EE, a funk/ punk marching band
has has ADOPTED AN ELEPHANT through the
Sheldrick Wildlife Trust of Nairobi Kenya.
ENKESHA, an adolescent female, had her trunk
almost severed in a poacher’s snare, resulting
in emergency surgery. Since then, Enkesha is en
route to a spectacular recovery.
Environmental Encroachment’s goals include
improving humanity (and now elephants!) through
music, play, and involvement. EE was hosted by
Didi and Chris McDonald, of Somerville,
Massachusetts, while on tour. Their kindness and
love of elephants inspired a financial gift from
EE, in the name of Didi McDonald, to the
foundation.
EE plans to continue and foster this
relationship, and has written a song,
“Triumphant Elephant”, and are composing an
“Adopt and Elephant” Suite of Music and Videos.
EE has been PROMOTING ECO-AWARENESS and is
honored to include preservation of these
majestic beings. Songs will be sent to Enkesha
and her guardians in hopes to eventually have a
meet-up (and JAM) with EE and Enkesha and
friends.
From EE to Didi: “We found this funky little
lady and we couldn't pass her up. We already
started writing a new song in your and her
honor.”
From Didi to EE: “Enkesha is one of my
favorites. She is such a fighter!”
From the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust: “Thank you
for playing your part in supporting our Orphans'
Project, so that Enkesha can have the care, love
and support needed to heal and grow, while
securing a protected home in which to roam.”
