World Elephant Day 2025

Published on the 12th of August, 2025

From tiny orphans to wild families, we support elephants through every step of the journey.

Elephant conservation is not the work of a moment, but a monumental, multi-generational commitment. The lifespan of an elephant mirrors our own. As we nurture the orphans of today, we are working on the bigger picture — protecting landscapes, saving wild lives, and tackling root threats like poaching, habitat loss, and human-wildlife conflict — to secure a future for all elephants.

To date, we have rescued over 300 orphaned elephants and welcomed 77 wild grandbabies of our Orphans' Project. Our ever-growing elephant family tree is a testament to the success of this 'big picture' conservation work. Every life saved, every wild baby born, is a result of thousands of kilometres patrolled by rangers, countless hours flown by pilots, long days and sleepless nights worked by teams in the field.

Protect the Bigger Picture
