Voor een toekomst voor olifanten

Olifanten worden met uitsterven bedreigd. Hun leefgebied verdwijnt in een alarmerend tempo, door toedoen van mensen. Olifanten moeten daarom buiten beschermde gebieden op zoek naar voedsel en water. Zo ontstaan er meer en meer conflicten tussen olifanten en mensen. Als de olifant verdwijnt, verliezen we een prachtige diersoort, die zo cruciaal is voor onze natuur en ecosysteem. 

Alles op alles voor duurzame verandering!

Bring the Elephant Home zet alles op alles voor de overlevingskans van olifanten. Onze natuurbeschermingsprojecten starten bij de lokale gemeenschap. We streven naar duurzaam positieve verandering, naar een wereld waar mens en olifant in harmonie naast elkaar kunnen leven. Sluit je aan bij de missie van Bring the Elephant Home!

  • 🐘🆔 Update from Kuiburi National Park! Our team has spotted elephant F-024 with her newborn calf, just 12 days old in this photo! F-024 is one of the individuals catalogued in our newly developed ID database. 📝 What makes this sighting special? Adult female F-023 was right there with them - continuing a pattern we’ve observed for nearly two years. This is a perfect example of the fascinating “nanny” behavior in Asian elephant herds, where adult females support each other in raising calves and sharing vital habitat knowledge. 🔍 Through our ID database, we can study these complex social relationships without interfering with the elephants’ natural behavior. Each observation helps us better understand the ecological dynamics of coexistence.

  • 🐘 We're deeply grateful to @CincinnatiZoo for their incredible support and recent visit to our field station in Ruam Thai Village, Thailand! Their team joined us for hands-on experience with our human-elephant coexistence initiatives, including: - Learning and supporting our elephant ID system and analyzing camera trap footage - Observing elephants in Kuiburi National Park (including a 2-week-old calf!) - Working with local farmers on our Tom Yum Project, exploring alternative crops and products - Engaging with community members on sustainable solutions This collaboration exemplifies the power of global conservation partnerships. Together with Cincinnati Zoo's expertise and support, we're strengthening our research and community-based approaches to elephant conservation. Special thanks to the entire Cincinnati Zoo cohort for their enthusiasm and dedication to understanding our work first-hand. We look forward to seeing the Tom Yum Project featured in their upcoming Elephant Trek habitat! 🌿🐝 #GlobalConservation #ElephantConservation #WildlifeConservation #ZooPartnership

  • Last month, we hosted our sixth Elephant Research Experience in South Africa, monitoring two elephant herds once separated by fences. While the study is still ongoing, we are seeing that removing fences benefits both elephants and ecosystems. Thank you, @abrivoordieren, for supporting our mission! 🐘💚 #AbriVoorDieren #Conservation #elephantconservation #elephantresearch #animalwelfare
