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.

  • Did you know? 🐘 Asian elephants are the largest land mammals in Asia, yet they now roam in only 15% of their historical range. That’s one big problem… but we’re working on big solutions! 🌿  At Bring The Elephant Home, we partner with local communities and researchers in Kuiburi National Park, Thailand, to restore elephant habitats and promote peaceful coexistence between people and elephants. 🤝💚  You can learn more about the elephants of Kuiburi and support our critical work by symbolically adopting an Asian elephant: link in bio!  #AsianElephants #HumanElephantCoexistence #ElephantConservation #BringTheElephantHome #WildlifeConservation #CommunityConservation #HabitatRestoration #ThailandWildlife #ConservationInAction #AdoptAnElephant
