About elephant dung paper:
Paper manufactured from the fiber in elephant dung is called elephant dung paper. It is 100% bacteria free, 100% odor free and 100% recycled. Elephant dung is a renewable source of raw material, unlike wood pulp, the traditional raw material for paper, which denudes forests. This makes it an environmentally responsible alternative to ordinary paper. Making paper from their dung enables the locals of South Luangwa to see elephants as assets
rather than liabilities. In fact, many elephant reserves are using the income from elephant dung paper to support their elephant conservation efforts. Elephant dung paper is uniquely textured and has a papyrus-like quality. It can be used to make many different products, such as stationery items, diaries, greeting cards and photo frames
in a wide variety of styles and colors.
