Founded by zoologist Iain Douglas-Hamilton in 1993, Save the Elephants (STE) conducts pioneering research into the ecology and behaviour of elephants and works to secure them a future on a fast-changing continent.
At Save the Elephants’ research station in Samburu National Reserve, northern Kenya, STE researchers study wild elephants on a daily basis. Over 900 identified elephants have been recorded using the reserves along the Ewaso Ny’iro river over many decades, and STE’s intimate knowledge of their family structures and history has opened a rare window into the world of elephants.
At a second research station in the Sagalla community in Tsavo, southeastern Kenya, the organisation’s Human-Elephant CoExistence team investigates solutions to the long-term challenges that elephants face.
