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!

  • ๐ŸŽ‰ Happy Freedom Day to all South Africans! 
๐Ÿ‡ฟ๐Ÿ‡ฆ Today marks 30 years of democracy since the historic elections in 1994. At Bring The Elephant Home, we emphasize the importance of transforming from exclusive to inclusive conservation, putting local communities at the heart of decision-making, and ensuring equality and justice for all beings. In the spirit of Ubuntu, we promote meaningful coexistence and environmental and ecological justice for all, especially for communities that are negatively affected by elephants, ecological destruction and economic globalization ๐ŸŒ

Let's celebrate the hard-won victories and keep pushing forward towards equality, justice, and unity ๐Ÿ’š

  • Notes from the Field - South Africa ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ‡ฟ๐Ÿ‡ฆ
"After a challenging morning filled with stubborn collars and elusive elephants, our patience was rewarded. As the afternoon sun warmed the savannah, we were greeted by a beautiful gathering at the watering hole. Observing their complex behaviors and collecting valuable dung samples made every moment worth it. Here's to the small victories in conservation! ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ’ง๐ŸŒฟ

Join us in September!

  • ๐Ÿ’ฉ Are you feeling pooped at the end of a long week? So are we! ๐Ÿ˜

In South Africa, we have been analyzing elephant dung as a noninvasive way to gauge an elephantโ€™s stress level. If dung can be collected within 45 minutes of deposit, volunteers measure the circumference of two boluses, take samples from three, and prepare them for analysis.

Songkran is a time of renewal, reflection, and rejoicing with family and friends. It reminds us of the importance of water - not just for us but for all living beings. May your Songkran be filled with laughter, joyous water splashes, and the warm company of loved ones.

  • Exciting news from the fields! ๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ”ฌ Our work and research with elephant-friendly crops continue to make progress! We have partnered with brilliant minds from the Bioinformatics and Systems Biology Program at King Mongkutโ€™s University of Technology Thonburi (KMUTT), Bangkok, to delve into the world of soil microbiology.

This collaboration aims to unravel the complex microbial communities that play a crucial role in the health and productivity of crops and the ecosystems humans and elephants call home. Through comprehensive analysis, we aspire to understand the impacts of different agricultural practices on human-elephant interactions, microbial diversity, and soil health. This knowledge will allow us to enhance our crop cultivation strategies and promote more sustainable and eco-friendly farming practices. 

Stay tuned as we continue our work with crops for human-elephant coexistence! Huge thanks for the support and collaboration on this work, @love.kmutt
