Introduction
Climate change, unsustainable tourism and increased human activity are all major contributors to the reason why our African elephants are endangered. Without protection from tourism trade and no safe space to live out their days we cannot efficiently help them.
Report
This project aims to create awareness through outreach programs as well as engaging the surrounding community to become active members in protecting their local elephants. We hope by doing this as well as promoting sustainable tourism we can have an effect on peoples way of thinking and spread awareness around the poaching issue. We also provide protection, monitoring and rehabilitation to those that have been injured to ensure these animals have the best chance of survival in the wild. We have raised $2000 so far

Report
By creating awareness we hope to make this project sustainable through the participation of the community as well as the education around responsible tourism, this will ensure the elephants will continue to be protected for years to come. Through the monitoring and research of the population that is still in the wild, we can track changes and trends, making us more efficient in their conservation.

Giving elephants a voice!
By Shayle Havemann | Project leader

Introduction
This project aims to provide protection and rehabilitation to elephants in Africa. Our African elephants are in a critical situation and with people becoming increasingly desperate due to job loss, the interest in poaching has increased tenfold, putting them at risk for the ivory trade. Climate change is also no help for these elephants as their habitats become unfavorable. Awareness and monitoring are the key steps we are taking to combat these issues.
Report
We are working with a new partner who uses knowledge acquired over decades to act as a voice for elephants. In the wild, ivory poaching, destruction of habitat, competition with people for diminishing resources, sport hunting, culling and capture, all threaten the freedom and survival of elephants. In captivity, their well-being is affected by abusive practices and exploitation for commercial gain.Through Conservation, Advocacy, Research and Education, we promote the protection and kinder treatment of elephants wherever they may be. As acknowledged experts on the natural behavior of elephants we offer insight to protect them and the authority to speak on their behalf.
