We need to act now

BTEH is dedicated to the well-being and survival of African and Asian elephants, fostering socio-ecological resilience in communities seeking human-elephant coexistence, and striving for a world where both elephants and people can thrive. Our community-based conservation approach, developed since BTEHโ€™s founding in 2004, emphasises shared decision-making, sustainability, equality, and partnerships. Through our projects, we promote evidence-based solutions that achieve human-elephant coexistence through range expansion, habitat restoration and supporting farmers in elephant-friendly livelihoods and land use, generating benefits for people, elephants and the ecosystems they share.

Elephant Research Experience Thailand:
October 1-10 2025

Dive into the heart of Thailandโ€™s Kuiburi National Park and make a real impact on elephant conservation! Join Bring The Elephant Homeโ€™s groundbreaking research team and experience the thrill of studying wild Asian elephants up close! As one of our selected research assistants, you’ll track elephants through lush jungles, decode their behaviours, and work alongside expert researchers and local communities. Contribute to a cutting-edge elephant ID system and community-driven conservation projects that transform human-elephant conflict into coexistence.

For the future of elephants!

Elephants are a keystone species in the ecosystems they are part of. Elephants disperse seeds, maintain grasslands and find water, all crucial for the survival of other species.

The mission of Bring The Elephant Home is to increase the chances of survival for elephants
in the wild and strive towards a
harmonious world where both humans and elephants can thrive, mutually benefiting from
coexistence.
