Did you know that elephants can live up to 80 years in the wild, or that if you blow into an elephant’s trunk, it’s said they will remember you forever? Our Education program aims to inspire students, introduce them into the fascinating world of elephants and empower our next generation with ways to get involved to secure the future of wildlife.

Saving Lives
