Securing a future for elephants and their landscapes across Africa.

About Save the Elephants

Save the Elephants is a research and protection organization based in Samburu, northern Kenya. Founded by the zoologist Iain Douglas-Hamilton, it pioneered GPS tracking of elephants to understand their movements and reduce conflict with people.

Its work spans anti-poaching support, the study of elephant behavior and social life, and efforts to keep migration corridors open across a rapidly changing landscape.
