Dimdima
Online Children's Magazine from India
Be adventurous! Take that elephant ride in a wildlife sanctuary. Keep eyes up front and you may spot some interesting wildlife. Wild boar, bison, nilgai, sambar, chital, langur, wild dog or maybe a ferocious tiger! Let your jaw drop as you watch your mount gorge on the green foliage. Non-stop! The end result? Lots of elephant poop!
In Sri Lanka, paper will be made from this dung. Note down the age of the pachyderm and it’s daily meal menu. Do inspect its teeth. The colour of your elephant dung paper depends on this!
The Millennium Elephant Foundation, Sri Lanka, will produce and sell this recycled dung paper. Don’t close your nose! This paper is guaranteed to be odorless and bacteria free. Plus point? Raw material is FREE!
