Elephants do not recognise the boundaries we draw; they depend on ancient pathways to move across vast distances, and protecting them means ensuring these critical routes that connect landscapes are unsevered.
Tracking, GPS collars and long-term movement data help Save the Elephants understand how elephants use the landscape, informing the planning decisions that keep migration corridors open and habitats connected. This work sits alongside the Elephant Crisis Fund, which provides flexible, responsive support to organizations across Africa combatting the ivory trade and protecting elephant landscapes.

Fragmented and fractured landscapes can be avoided through proper planning, where core habitats for elephants and wildlife are set aside and the corridors that link them are protected. Save the Elephants is right at the heart of this.
