Wire Elephant Bookmark, India

Never lose your place again! Elephant-shaped bookmark is created from recycled copper wire by the skillful hands of Kenyan artisans. Paper backing is handmade out water hyacinth, an invasive plant species that has plagued Lake Victoria and severely affected the livelihoods of fisherman. Innovative use of this nuisance plant for crafts, including paper making, is contributing to the rehabilitation of Africa’s largest lake.
