ADOPT AN ELEPHANT - ONCE-OFF ADOPTION
Purchase a one-off elephant adoption to receive your special adoption gift pack and help protect elephants forever.
Asian elephants are the largest mammals on the continent, 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 and 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 left 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.
