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.

Sponsor a Wildlife Camera

Bring The Elephant Home is launching a community-driven research program to identify individual elephants and understand their movements using wildlife cameras—motion-activated cameras that record images and videos of elephants throughout the night. These cameras provide critical insights into elephant behavior, helping us develop science-based strategies to prevent conflict and promote coexistence. You can make a difference. Donate now and sponsor a wildlife camera today and help turn human-elephant conflict into human-elephant 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.

  • 🚨🐘We’re behind on our goal—urgent help needed! 
Please join us in sponsoring a wildlife camera for our new community-driven elephant research program.  So far, we’ve raised €1,963 from 19 donations toward our €10,000 goal. Your contribution—at one of five sponsorship levels—directly supports the equipment and research needed to transform conflict into coexistence. 💚  Follow the link below or in our bio to learn more about each level and the impact you’ll make.  Donate now at: bteh.org/sponsor-a-wildlife-camera and be a champion for elephants and communities!  #SponsorAWildlifeCamera #SaveElephants #HumanElephantCoexistence #CommunityDrivenResearch #WildlifeConservation #DonateNow
  • 🐘🔎What is occupancy surveying—and why does it matter for conservation?  Occupancy surveying is a scientific method that helps conservationists understand where species are likely to be found—and where they’re not. By collecting data across multiple locations, we can estimate the probability of a species using a specific area, even if we don’t always see them directly.  So why are we doing this in Kui Buri National Park?
We’re using occupancy surveying to better understand the distribution of wild elephants across the park, especially in the remote and less-studied northern regions. These areas may be critical for elephant movement and conservation, but without data, it’s hard to know how to protect them.  This method helps us strategically place wildlife cameras in high-probability zones—making our efforts more efficient and effective. The data collected by our incredible field team also provides critical insights into the complexity of elephant crop incursions and human-elephant conflict in the region.  Want to be a part of this work?
You can sponsor a wildlife camera in Kui Buri! Your support helps us monitor elephants and other threatened species, expand our research, and protect important habitats. https://bring-the-elephant-home.org/sponsor-a-wildlife-camera/  #WildlifeConservation #ElephantConservation #KuiBuri #CameraTrap #sponsorawildlifecamera #ScienceForWildlife #OccupancySurvey #HumanElephantCoexistence #WildlifeMonitoring

  • 👉 Sponsor a wildlife camera today! Link in our bio!  🐘📸 Meet M-015, we first met this tuskless adult male on March 13, 2020 (Thai Elephant Day). He has two holes in his right ear, likely from moving through thorny vegetation, which helps our research team distinguish him from other elephants.  M-015 has become one of the most frequently sighted elephants on our wildlife cameras monitoring elephant activity in farms bordering Kuiburi National Park. Remarkably, despite his visibility on farms, we haven’t spotted M-015 during visits inside the protected area for over five years!  This is why wildlife cameras are so important; they allow us to capture and analyze the complex and cryptic behaviors of elephants we might never see without these tools! If we can better understand elephants like M-015, we can develop targeted strategies to prevent crop damage and promote human-elephant coexistence.  👉 Sponsor a wildlife camera and help us track, protect, and coexist with elephants like M-015:
