My story

 

It was not until we had the privilige of meeting these amazing and sensitive animals in December 2008 at their home in Jaipur, Rajasthan, India that we realised the suffering that they have endured over several decades. Every penny raised by the Elephant family charity goes towards helping them avoid extinction and educating the locals in giving them the respect that they deserve.

Elephant Family, throw all their hearts and souls into doing their best to try and help this amazing animal, the Asian Elephant from extinction. Registered in 2002 this small and lean charity has built up relationships with NGOs, politicians and local communities across Asia.   They work together to reconnect the forests, and save their ancient migratory routes.  If the forests remain disconnected elephant herds become marooned and starve.  In desperation they wander into villages, destroy crops and pose a deadly threat to villagers. Their number one threat is loss of habitat. 

By saving the Asian elephants habitat, an entire eco-system is saved.

Any amount that you can offer would be extremely gratefully received by elephant family, the vets but most of all the elephants themselves.

Many thanks,

Chris
