"The Elephant in the Zoom: Elephants in northern Thailand are being
offered to organizers of video call meetings to help raise funds for
their care. The collapse of international tourism due to Covid-19 has
reportedly forced at least 85 elephant camps in northern Thailand to close.
The Elephant in the Zoom, they’re calling it – a programme designed to
inject a bit of fun into online meetings by having a three-tonne animal
join in.
Rates start at US$75 to bring elephants in on a Zoom video call for 10
minutes; for US$145, callers also get a three-minute Q&A session with
elephant experts
A gimmick it may be – although seeing a grey trunk and flapping ears in
one of your Zoom boxes is no doubt preferable to having a colleague
stumble into the meeting naked, unaware their computer’s video camera is
on – but the aim is to raise much needed funds for the care of elephants
in Thailand, to help cover a huge shortfall brought about by Covid-19
travel restrictions."
