Introducing…FIORI💕🐘
The name FIORI in Italian means flowers🌸

📌It was the nickname of an elderly Swiss lady who set up the trust that have given #EHRA and the #desert #elephants a lot of support nearly over the last 2 years.
The name is just perfect 🥰🐘

A new Ugab Baby☀️! BEST NEWS EVER😍🐘

🛑 We kindly ask all #travelers and game drive #guides in the Ugab to keep a respectful distance to mother and #calf. First time #elephant mothers can be stressed easily and in some cases abandoning their calves.
Thank you for adhering💕🙏

Our solar installation project allows both elephants and humans access to water.
We have installed over 6 pumps so far, and look forward to installing more. It is just the financial relief local communities need!

@504_dr @MinistryofEnvi2 @AGA_artenschutz 2. Drones sound like a swarm of bees which stresses/ alarms elephants. 3 they are very expensive to get and maintain. Collaring elephants triggers short-term stress and quick recovery. Collars provide real time movement data, early warning signals & protection.

🐘🐘🐘 Massive thanks to the @MinistryofEnvi2 (MEFT) for providing their amazing veterinarian Dr Axel Hartmann who helped us successfully collar the elephants

The collars were funded by @AGA_artenschutz to allow us to monitor desert elephants.

@504_dr @MinistryofEnvi2 @AGA_artenschutz Hi there, thank you so much for your concern for the elephants, which we share 100%. Using drones is not a viable alternative for multiple reasons: 1. Their battery life is extremely short, therefore making no sense in the type of environment we work in;

EHRA featured on the @BBCNews 🙏🐘 Please help us fund our #elephant #conservation work so that can continue keeping elephants and communities safe in #Namibia #Africa. Our income has dropped to zero due to #Covid_19. We urgently need your support! https://t.co/fJyUAwbxVw

Super proud of my sister Rachel Harris on the news this evening - without volunteers her charity @EHRANamibia needs vital funds to support the local communities and elephants.

It's been a fantastic week for our #elephants residing in the Ugab River. After many years of drought, it has finally rained and our rivers are flowing. Photo was taken in front of EHRA's Base Camp by #conservation #volunteer Eva Baauw last week. #namibia #wildife
