Voor een toekomst voor olifanten

Olifanten worden met uitsterven bedreigd. Hun leefgebied verdwijnt in een alarmerend tempo, vooral door toedoen van mensen. Hierdoor worden olifanten gedwongen om buiten beschermde gebieden op zoek te gaan naar voedsel en water. Dit leidt steeds vaker tot conflicten tussen mens en olifant. Als de olifant verdwijnt, verliezen we niet alleen een prachtige diersoort, maar ook een onmisbare schakel in onze natuur en ecosystemen.

Alles op alles voor duurzame verandering!

Bring the Elephant Home zet alles op alles voor de overlevingskans van olifanten. Onze projecten in Afrika en Aziรซ starten bij de lokale gemeenschap. We streven naar duurzaam positieve verandering, naar een wereld waar mens en olifant in harmonie naast elkaar kunnen leven. Sluit je aan bij de missie van Bring the Elephant Home!

By symbolically adopting an African elephant, you help protect elephants and support the communities living alongside them, advancing research, conservation action, and shared well-being for people and wildlife.  Join us in shaping a more just and hopeful future for all.

  • Elephant populations have declined by 77% in 50 years - if these trends continue, we could see a world without wild elephants in two decades.  Please consider helping those who are trying to help them.  Join us this Sunday, December 14th at the Troubadour for Tinsel and Trunks!! โœจAn all-ages variety show with music, comedy, and holiday cheer to support wild elephant conservation!

  • Protecting elephants means protecting the shared wellbeing of people, nature, and future generations. ๐Ÿ˜  Our research identified 90 overlapping services, benefits and values associated with elephants: ecological, socio-cultural, economic, and intrinsic.  We show that conservation becomes fairer, more effective and ethical when all values are understood and balanced. By adding moral values, we can better navigate trade-offs and support solutions that unite rather than divide! ๐ŸŒ  #ElephantConservation #ValueOfNature #Biodiversity #ConservationScience #ConservationResearch
  • A big thank you to Dhruv Rungta from Duke University for spending time with us in Ruam Thai to learn about humanโ€“elephant coexistence and the inspiring story of this community. From sleepless nights in pineapple fields to innovative solutions like beehive fences, homestays, and alternative crops, Dhruv captured both the challenges and the resilience of the people living alongside Kuiburiโ€™s wild elephants.  Weโ€™re grateful he chose to learn and share these stories with the world through his beautifully written piece in Conservation Mag.
