WWF's work

We collaborate with partners, governments, and communities in east Africa and across Asia to protect elephant populations and their habitats. This includes maintaining and restoring ‘wildlife corridors’ so elephants can migrate safely.

We also support local people to live more safely alongside wildlife, including strategies to reduce crop damage from elephants, such as using solar powered electric fences and installing beehives (as elephants dislike bees).

And we’re monitoring elephants...

...by regularly surveying them and tracking their movements with GPS collars, to keep both elephants and people safe.
