Your donations don’t just help elephants. They rescue, treat and save any wild animal in need of help.

This speared giraffe in remote Tsavo was spotted by our aerial team on patrol. We flew a KWS vet to the scene in our helicopter, who carefully removed the spear gave the patient lifesaving veterinary care on the ground.

Reticulated giraffe numbers have fallen by around 50% in three decades. Every individual saved counts for the future of the species.

Communities don't just experience climate change, they document it, understand it and fight back.

Participatory data collection turns local knowledge into powerful climate solutions.
