Rachel Powys is raising money for Elephant Family
Donations cannot currently be made to this page

Royal Parks Foundation Half Marathon 2009 · 11 October 2009 ·

Massive habitat loss over the past 100 years has wiped out 50% of Asia's wild elephant population, along with the vital ecosystems they used to support. Elephant Family exists to save this iconic animal from extinction by securing vital habitat and reducing conflict with local communities.

Story

THANK YOU FOR VISITING MY PAGE!!!

Like so many people I believe we should take care of the planet and the animals we share it with. Children instantly recognise the Asian elephant as an exciting feat of nature, but tragically this huge and magnificent creature is on track to disappear within their life time. 

I am passionate about Elephant Family's plan to save them. Registered in 2002 this small and lean little charity has built up relationships with NGOs, politicians and local communities across Asia.   We 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. (See photos).


Every single penny counts!   Even if it's £2/£5/£10 I would be thrilled that you had decided to support me.
