Elephant in My Heart: Video (3:01 min)

I was inspired to write “Elephant In My Heart” as part of my Songs For Humanity Project after hearing Elephant Conservation Activist Marty Perlmutter speak at our local TV station. His impassioned and intelligent plea to Save the Elephants touched my heart. Besides being majestic and intelligent animals, elephants are vital to maintain forests and preserve ecological harmony. To spread the elephant advocacy message with the world, I interviewed Marty on my Marin TV show “Musical Medicine with Soleil Dakota.” In the interview, Marty speaks about Chelsea Clinton’s passion for these majestic animals, and the Clinton Global Initiative’s efforts to save them. Elephants are crucial to our ecosystem. Chelsea Clinton has described elephants as “sort of the honeybees of the African savannah or their forest environment.”
