Elephant Rewilding Reserve in South Africa
Bring The Elephant Home and the Elephant Reintegration Trust are collaborating on the Rewilding Elephants initiative—a transformative effort to restore elephants to wild, protected landscapes in South Africa’s Eastern Cape.
Why it matters
- Autonomy: A safe haven where captive elephants can roam free again.
- Science: A living lab for research on rewilding and elephant behavior.
- Communities: Local jobs, eco-education, and coexistence with wildlife.
- Ethics: Pioneering a future where elephants are no longer used for tourism or entertainment.
Together, we are working to secure land that will connect habitats, create corridors, and make South Africa a country without captive elephants for tourism. With the support of donors, partners, and communities, we can give elephants the freedom they deserve.
