EleArt is a conservation and education project whose objective is to be a catalyst for animal and cultural protection and divulgation. Its aim focuses on wildlife in connection with human history, more specifically in Elephants and San Rock Art. The project aims to contribute to safeguard wildlife and artistic culture through advancing knowledge, preserving and informing about a living and unique legacy. By correlating the journey of the elephants and their importance in the pictorial representations of the San people, EleArt proposes to shed light on part of a pristine relationship inspiring and driving forward research, education and regeneration, and capable of boosting an animal and cultural conservation that balances human legacy and wildlife. The justification for writing this book is the result of a passion split between the San people, the nomadic Bushmen, and the largest land mammal, with the approach to both being based on the dual pillars of Art and Travel, physically as well as emotionally. After years of wandering around the world and immersing myself in inclusive readings and eclectic research, EleArt was designed with an increasingly specific outline even if it did not always complete the desired picture. Along elephant trails and in caves containing millennial rock art, this journey was defined by moments of pure magic, incredulity, apprehension and expectation with the promise of a fleeting survival in a tribute to life.

TravelconT, The Crossroads of Contemporary Travel in Postcolonial Tourism, a project whose objective is to map and reflect on tourist traffic from the point of view of Memory Tourism placing it within a critical discourse whose importance rests on an interdisciplinary methodological approach and research enhancing cross-border value and with a pluricontinental emphasis. As tourism is a worldwide activity with a huge impact on national GDPs, it is now a global phenomenon and transversal to a shared genealogy – colonial empires. This has acted as a catalyst for tourist flows in both directions: former colonial settlers visiting the old overseas geographies and the formerly colonised travelling as tourists to the old imperial centre in a dual dynamic whose perspective is extremely current. In sum, TravelconT is based on travel as an anchor and engine for value creation, promotion and empowerment of human development using tourism as an awareness-raising element leading to active and open citizenship. This is its added value, power and topicality, wholly in line with the goals of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development of the United Nations (SDGs).
