The human-elephant conflict is intense In Tanzania.

As elephants wander into nearby villages, they damage crops and property, posing a risk to humans that results in injuries and even fatalities. Conversely, elephant poaching continues to grow, even as they are threatened with extinction. 

But there is a solution. By providing a fence of beehives around farmland, elephants are deterred from crops. As they go back to their natural ways of feeding and foraging, crop loss is reduced by 80% and both human and elephant lives are spared. Hives and locally sourced honey also provide communities with a sustainable source of income.

Your donations allow us to partner with organizations to construct these beehive fences.

You can help us protect elephants. Your gift can support our work to to secure habitat for elephants, reduce human-elephant conflicts, and halt the ivory trade.

Together, we can save the Elephant!

Elephants need your help. These highly social and sensitive creatures are facing a painful loss of habitat. Over the past three decades, their population has declined by at least 50%. Many elephants are forced into captivity, where they spend their days chained and forced to work in the logging, trekking, and tourism industries.

Much of this tragedy is due to human population growth. Weighing over 11,000 pounds, these gigantic creatures need a lot of room to roam and plants to eat. As deforestation and agriculture destroy their natural habitat, elephants increasingly find themselves in conflict with humans—leading to hundreds of human and elephant deaths every year. Elephants are also a major target for poachers, who kill them for their ivory tusk, meat, and hides.

You can help us protect elephants. Your gift will support our work to to secure habitat for elephants, reduce human-elephant conflicts, and halt the ivory trade.
