We raise funds to support, and oversee, research and education programmes in Botswana working towards understanding the socio and ecological needs of African savannah elephants in the context of a human landscape to work towards human-wildlife coexistence and enable rural communities to benefit from wildlif. Additionally, we give educational talks to schools and interested parties globally.
