# Saving The Elephants

## Our Mission

Our mission is to secure a future for elephants and to sustain the beauty and ecological integrity of the places they live; to promote man’s delight in their intelligence and the diversity of their world, and to develop a tolerant relationship between the two species.

## Why Save Elephants

1. Elephants are the world's gardeners and landscape engineers, planting seeds and creating habitat wherever they roam.
2. Without urgent action to save their species, elephants could disappear from the wild within a single generation.
3. Approximately 100,000 elephants in Africa were killed for their ivory in just three years between the years 2010 & 2012.

## Our Projects

We have projects across the world focussing on radio-tracking elephants and community conservation carrying out rigorous studies of elephants, including elephant collaring and more recently, sophisticated elephant tracking techniques. The mission of Save The Elephants is to secure a future for elephants in harmony with people. Our rationale is to plan conservation of elephants and their environment through research on movements, ecology, and behaviour, and through community programmes, and to look at conservation from an elephant’s point of view which we do through our projects.
