Bring The Elephant Home‘s mission is to increase the chances of survival for elephants and work towards a world where people and elephants can live in harmony, benefiting from each other’s existence.

What makes Bring The Elephant Home special is their dedication to community engagement. Their conservation projects are rooted in local communities. Typically, people living near elephants are the most affected, receiving hardly any benefits from their presence. Equitable and sustainable nature conservation respects their knowledge and values, and makes the benefits and income that elephants can bring accessible to all.

Bring The Elephant Home’s work is characterized by three overarching guidelines: local involvement, a healthy ecology, and benefits for people and elephants simultaneously. They lead to shared decision-making, ownership of local communities, sustainability, gender and social equality, pride, and a peaceful coexistence of people and animals: the crown jewels of their projects in Asia and Africa.
