Introduction
Our project works across Asia and actively rescues Elephants and rehabilitates them in a protected forest, whilst providing protection and monitoring to ensure they remain safe. We are working with conservationists and local community members to research alternative strategies for elephant conservation, this way our work can be sustainable as the greater community gets involved and becomes educated on the topic.
Report
Threats include habitat loss and fragmentation with many elephants still in the wild being forced out of protected areas. We cannot just put elephants into protected areas, therefore need new strategies and research to help these elephants remain safe and continue to populate. It costs $350 to facilitate an outreach program which engages 200 local participants in the protection of elephants.
