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!

  • 🚨🐘We’re behind on our goal—urgent help needed! Please join us in sponsoring a wildlife camera for our new community-driven elephant research program. So far, we’ve raised €1,963 from 19 donations toward our €10,000 goal. Your contribution—at one of five sponsorship levels—directly supports the equipment and research needed to transform conflict into coexistence. 💚 Follow the link below or in our bio to learn more about each level and the impact you’ll make. Donate now at: bteh.org/sponsor-a-wildlife-camera and be a champion for elephants and communities! #SponsorAWildlifeCamera #SaveElephants #HumanElephantCoexistence #CommunityDrivenResearch #WildlifeConservation #DonateNow
  • 🐘🔎What is occupancy surveying—and why does it matter for conservation? Occupancy surveying is a scientific method that helps conservationists understand where species are likely to be found—and where they’re not. By collecting data across multiple locations, we can estimate the probability of a species using a specific area, even if we don’t always see them directly. So why are we doing this in Kui Buri National Park? We’re using occupancy surveying to better understand the distribution of wild elephants across the park, especially in the remote and less-studied northern regions. These areas may be critical for elephant movement and conservation, but without data, it’s hard to know how to protect them. This method helps us strategically place wildlife cameras in high-probability zones—making our efforts more efficient and effective. The data collected by our incredible field team also provides critical insights into the complexity of elephant crop incursions and human-elephant conflict in the region. Want to be a part of this work? You can sponsor a wildlife camera in Kui Buri! Your support helps us monitor elephants and other threatened species, expand our research, and protect important habitats. https://bring-the-elephant-home.org/sponsor-a-wildlife-camera/ #WildlifeConservation #ElephantConservation #KuiBuri #CameraTrap #sponsorawildlifecamera #ScienceForWildlife #OccupancySurvey #HumanElephantCoexistence #WildlifeMonitoring

  • 👉 Sponsor a wildlife camera today! Link in our bio! 🐘📸 Meet M-015, we first met this tuskless adult male on March 13, 2020 (Thai Elephant Day). He has two holes in his right ear, likely from moving through thorny vegetation, which helps our research team distinguish him from other elephants. M-015 has become one of the most frequently sighted elephants on our wildlife cameras monitoring elephant activity in farms bordering Kuiburi National Park. Remarkably, despite his visibility on farms, we haven’t spotted M-015 during visits inside the protected area for over five years! This is why wildlife cameras are so important; they allow us to capture and analyze the complex and cryptic behaviors of elephants we might never see without these tools! If we can better understand elephants like M-015, we can develop targeted strategies to prevent crop damage and promote human-elephant coexistence. 👉 Sponsor a wildlife camera and help us track, protect, and coexist with elephants like M-015: https://bring-the-elephant-home.org/sponsor-a-wildlife-camera/ #ElephantConservation #sponsorawildlifecamera #WildlifeResearch #HumanElephantCoexistence #KuiburiNationalPark #SupportConservation
  • 🌿🐘 New Podcast! 🎙️ This Thai Elephant Day, our Elephant Research Manager, Ave Owen, was featured in the latest Asia for Animals Podcast! 🎧 @asiaforanimals In this episode, Ave discusses the unique personalities of elephants and why understanding their individuality is key to fostering human-elephant coexistence. 🐘 🔗 Listen to the podcast here: https://asiaforanimals.podbean.com/e/understanding-elephant-individuality-key-to-achieving-human-elephant-coexistence/ 📸 Support elephant conservation! One of the best ways to understand and protect elephants is through wildlife cameras. Our Sponsor a Wildlife Camera campaign helps us monitor elephant movements, study their behaviors, and create solutions for peaceful coexistence. Every donation brings us closer to a future where humans and elephants share space safely. 👉 Sponsor a camera today: https://bring-the-elephant-home.org/sponsor-a-wildlife-camera/ #ThaiElephantDay #SponsorAWildlifeCamera #HumanElephantCoexistence #ElephantConservation #BringTheElephantHome #WildlifeResearch #Coexistence #SupportConservation
