The Asian elephant is a truly magnificent creature. But tragically, this iconic animal is on the brink of extinction due to massive habitat loss. In the past 100 years the Asian elephant population has declined by 90%. In another 30 years, it could easily vanish altogether.
The long-term survival of Asian elephants depends on securing their habitat, and especially the main corridors through which they pass between habitat fragments. Where it may already be too late for this, measures are needed to reduce the level of conflict between people and elephants.
Elephant Family is the only UK charity dedicated solely and exclusively to saving the Asian elephant from extinction in the wild, and is already following these approaches with local partner organisations in India, Indonesia, Malaysia and Thailand. For more information on these projects click here
Elephant Parade London is a colourful way of drawing attention to the plight of the Asian elephant and gaining support for Elephant Family’s campaign to have governments act before it is too late. It is also bringing together the following UK organisations conservation organisations, to raise awareness and funds for their work that in some way is helping the Asian elephants and their habitat.
