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 BTEH’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.

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.

  • 🐘 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! 🌿🐝

  • 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.
