Description:

This collectible phone card offers a powerful tribute to the endangered Indian elephant, combining natural imagery with symbolic elements to raise conservation awareness. On the left side, a vivid photograph captures a majestic Indian elephant standing in shallow water, its body partially submerged. The animal’s textured skin, large ears, and long trunk are prominently showcased against a backdrop of a partly cloudy blue sky, evoking the natural habitat essential to the species’ survival. This intimate image highlights both the grandeur and vulnerability of this endangered creature.

Running along the left margin, bold, capitalized text identifies the card as part of the “Endangered Species Series,” with a specific focus on the “Indian Elephant.” The clean typography, rendered in yellow against a black background, ensures the message is clear and striking. This labeling serves as both an educational marker and a subtle call to action, encouraging viewers to recognize the ecological challenges facing the species and the importance of wildlife conservation efforts.

The right side of the card features a rich, reddish-brown textured background reminiscent of earth tones, evoking a natural connection despite the card’s Indian theme. Near the center, the Indian national flag is prominently displayed—the deep saffron top band, white middle with a navy blue Ashoka Chakra, and green bottom band—anchoring the card’s theme by linking the elephant to its country of origin and cultural heritage. This element underscores the environmental and cultural significance of the species.

Additional details on the right include the issuance date “11/06/95” in yellow typeface, marking the card’s release during the mid-1990s and connecting it to early conservation awareness efforts. Below this, a serial number (0242/2800) denotes the card’s limited edition status, enhancing its collectible value while reinforcing the message of endangered species protection. The bottom right corner displays the “ACME” logo with stylized lines, identifying the manufacturer or distributor, while the face value of $7 appears in bold yellow text at the top right, confirming the card’s function as a telecard. Together, these elements blend practical utility with a meaningful environmental message, making the card a distinctive artifact of conservation history.
