Region: Africa
Type of Organisation: NGO,
Interest in Forestry: peripheral
Description:
To Secure a future for elephants and sustain the beauty and ecological integrity of the places they
live, to promote man's delight in their intelligence and the diversity of their world, and to develop
a
tolerant relationaship between the two species.
Research
We support basic research on elephant behaviour and ecology and have pioneered GPS radio tracking to
provide fresh insight into elephant ways of life. By understanding elephant movements, we
can approach conservation from an elephant's perspective
Protection
Save the Elephants assists wildlife departments in their fight against ivory traders and poachers. We
protect and monitor elephants with aerial surveillance and radio-tracking and believe that a renewed
ivory trade remains the greatest potential threat to elephants.
Grassroots
We involve local people in research and education to develop a conservation ethic based on local knowledge
and elephant needs, and recognise that the best potential ambassadors for elephants are
the people with whom they share their land.
Education
Elephants are sensate creatures with complex levels of consciousness and it is our intention to bring
this to the world's attention. We disseminate information through films, publications, a computerized
elephant library and our website.
