WHY ADOPT AN ELEPHANT?
Adopting an elephant helps to support Born Free’s work in preventing elephants’ mistreatment and endangerment. We work to stop elephants from being poached and killed for their ivory, as well as support ranger patrols that monitor and protect the elephants in the wild, and work with local communities to reduce conflict between people and elephants.
Our Elephant Family are a large herd, who live in Kenya’s Amboseli Park, at the foot of Mount Kilimanjaro. They are monitored by the Amboseli Elephant Research Project – the longest-running project of its kind in Africa. By adopting the Elephant Family, you will help to fund this vital project, as well as supporting Born Free’s campaigning to end the keeping of elephants in captivity, campaigning to end trophy hunting and the ivory trade, and work with elephants in other parts of Kenya.
With only 415,000 African elephants left in the wild, it’s more important than ever to support their population.
