ADOPT AN ELEPHANT
These magnificent mammals need your help to protect their forest homes.
Protect Asian elephants and their forest homes
Asian elephants are the continent's largest terrestrial mammals, with the appetite to match. They roam large areas for food, depositing seeds as they go, which keeps the forests and all its inhabitants healthy.
But their ivory tusks attract illegal poachers. And palm oil commercial timber plantations, logging and agriculture are destroying their habitat and putting them into contact with humans more often. When this happens, elephants may raid crops or trample homes, and people can retaliate by killing them. Now, less than 50,000 remain in the wild, with Borneo pygmy elephants the most threatened of all.
We must take action, or we'll lose them forever.
Adopting an elephant today can help protect them from extinction. Your monthly donations will symbolise your support for conservation and animal advocacy, and ensure elephants remain part of our environment forever.
And for each elephant you assist, you'll also help a host of other species too.
