Catch someone at a Canadian airport smuggling $100k of cocaine? They go straight to jail. Smuggle a six-figure black rhino horn? A first offense often means a fine. As Jean-François Dubois notes, the consequences are not the same. It's time for real legal equity. #WildlifeCrime

For #WorldElephantDay, double your donation to connect emerging technologies to HEC mitigation.

Now through August 12, your donation is doubled up to $25,000.

Our work doesn't stop when the sun sets.

During the crop growing season, the calls come in through the night. Communities across the Mara report elephants in and around their farms, raiding crops that represent an entire season's work.

Mara Elephant Project rangers deploy. The drone goes up first - thermal vision cutting through the darkness, locating the herd, assessing the situation before rangers reach the scene.

We use drone technology to effectively move the elephants away from the farms and back to a safer landscape.

By donating today, you invest in trained drone pilots with an aerial fleet that rapidly responds to keep people and elephants safe.
Let’s raise $50,000 for World Elephant Day. Your $1 gift instantly becomes $2!

Your generosity today makes a connection for elephants tomorrow.
Protect elephants, connect open spaces and promote coexistence. Donate today: https://t.co/RsoKuFcxhj

#WildlifeCrime is no longer just a “poaching” problem—it is a global security threat. 📷📷

A lovely little peek into elephant devotion: While Lodo took a nap, ‘big brother’ Sattao stood protectively over him, almost soothing him to sleep. (An even sweeter detail: Sattao is now living wild; he popped by for a visit and took it upon himself to babysit!)

This is common behaviour among elephants. More often than not, it is females giving the care – but as you see here, males also have a strong nurturing streak.

Growing up in our care, these little survivors have found a loving family – one that will support them for the rest of their lives.

#DYK 86% of surveyed nations are hit by wildlife crime, yet money laundering was investigated in only 1% of cases?

Syndicates treat wildlife trafficking as a low-risk, high-profit opportunity. It's time authorities follow the money to disrupt these networks! 💵🚫 #FollowTheMoney

Fighting wildlife crime requires more than stopping poachers—it means freezing assets, tracking illegal payments, and dismantling syndicate finances.

Financial investigations are key to stopping illegal trade. Let's give wildlife crime the severity it deserves! ⚖️ #WildlifeCrime

A routine sighting can reveal extraordinary insights.

During this monitoring session, Mara Elephant Project’s long-term monitoring (LTM) team identified two known elephants, Individuals 59 and 88, among the herd. Recognizing familiar faces is just one part of their work.

Regular monitoring allows our research team to track herd dynamics as they change over time, understand movement patterns, confirm that known individuals are safe and healthy, and expand our database by cataloging new individuals. Together, these observations build a long-term picture of the Mara's elephant population, helping inform conservation decisions that protect elephants for generations to come.

#DYK wild tiger populations dropped by 96% over the last century, and savannah elephants fell 30% from 2014–17 alone?

Unchecked wildlife crime dismantles ecosystems and drives species toward extinction. We need real accountability now. 🐘🐅 #ProtectEcosystems #UNTOC

The Fran Duthie African Elephant Conservation Scholarship administered by Mara Elephant Project continues to support and shape the next generation of conservation leaders across Kenya, investing not only in education, but also in the skills, leadership, and opportunities needed to create lasting conservation impact.

Since becoming a Fran Duthie Scholar, Amos Baari has continued to grow as both a researcher and conservation leader. Currently pursuing a Master's degree in Climate Change Adaptation at the University of Nairobi, his work focuses on understanding how climate-induced land-use changes are affecting elephant migratory corridors across the Greater Mara Ecosystem.

"The scholarship gave me the financial freedom to design robust field research without compromising the quality of my work."

Beyond his studies, Amos now serves as Chair of the Linda Msitu Steering Committee, where he works alongside local communities, pastoralists, and conservation partners to strengthen community-led forest conservation and sustainable financing initiatives around the Loita Forest.

His research combines spatial mapping with community knowledge to help identify and protect critical wildlife corridors while supporting climate-resilient land-use planning.

"The biggest shift in my journey has been realizing that protecting elephant corridors depends on supporting the livelihoods of the people who live alongside them."

Looking ahead, Amos hopes to complete his Master's research, help keep key migratory pathways open across the Mara landscape, and establish an environmental youth club in Narok County to inspire the next generation of conservation leaders.

Like many Fran Duthie Scholars, Amos' journey reflects how investing in young conservationists can create meaningful impact, from research and leadership to stronger partnerships between people and wildlife.

Wildlife crime funds organized syndicates, yet it’s sidelined next to drug & human trafficking.

Inadequate laws cost our planet everything.
