Fall in love with elephants ♡
Elephants are among the most intelligent of the creatures with whom we share the planet, with complex consciousnesses that are capable of strong emotions. Across Africa they have inspired respect from the people that share the landscape with them, giving them a strong cultural significance. As icons of the continent elephants are tourism magnets, attracting funding that helps protect wilderness areas. They are also keystone species, playing an important role in maintaining the biodiversity of the ecosystems in which they live.

Why Save Elephants?
-
The big boys of Africa
Elephants are Africa’s gardeners and landscape engineers, planting seeds and creating habitat wherever they roam. -
Urgent Action
Without urgent action to save their species, elephants could disappear from the wild within a single generation. -
Ivory prices
Approximately 100,000 elephants in Africa were killed for their ivory in just three years between the years 2010 & 2012.
Save the Elephants
Sadly, elephants are fast disappearing from the wild. Without urgent, international action they could be gone within a generation. The Elephant Crisis Fund provides rapid, catalytic support for the most effective projects designed to stop the killing, thwart traffickers and end the demand for ivory. 100% of all donations reach the field.
