On 30 June 2026 £50,000 will be distributed to the top 60 charities with the most votes, including £13,000 just for the Top #10 UK and Europe charities. Save The Asian Elephants is in position #64 and only needs 3,456 votes to make the Top 20.

“It is not enough to love animals, we must actively protect and preserve them. It's our duty and responsibility as custodians of this planet.”
Dame Daphne Sheldrick, author and conservationist
STAE has been invited to have a stall at the great Piccadilly Animals Fair on Saturday, 20 June 2026 from 10.30am to 4.15pm. Hope to see many of our supporters at this wonderful venue!
Without elephants, our whole ecosystem would collapse. Each species contributes to our ecosystem with their own unique qualities and each plays a part in our existence.

Happy, the Asian elephant at Bronx zoo, was euthanised last week due to ill health. Happy was taken from her mother as a baby in Thailand and transported to the USA. She has never experienced life as part of a herd.
