Save
the Elephants approaches conservation from an
elephant’s perspective. We believe elephants deserve
special respect from humanity because they are sensate
beings with a higher order consciousness, and we intend
to safeguard their future in an increasingly insecure
world. It is our mission to secure a future for elephants
and to sustain the beauty and ecological integrity
of the places where they live; to promote man’s delight
in their intelligence and the diversity of their world,
and to develop a tolerant relationship between the
two species.
The
Gallman Memorial Fundation (GMF) was founded by
Kuki Gallmann in 1984 in memory of her late husband
Paolo and son Emanuele who both died tragically in
Kenya - to prove that the harmonious coexistence of
development of natural resources and conservation
of the environment and wildlife in Africa is not just
a dream. Ol Ari Nyiro ranch, in the region of Laikipia
in Northern Kenya, is becoming a model on how this
idea can be achieved.
The
Tusk Trust, instigated by a team of young people

like to ask for your support towards this eminently
worthy cause...

of the long-term study of elephants in Africa to the
overall conservation process, the Trust will create,
maintain and manage an endowment fund to support the
Amboseli Elephant Research Project and similar projects
undertaken as part of the African Elephant Conservation
Trust program.
The
Sheldrick Wildlife Trust has played an extremely
significant and important role in Kenya's conservation
effort, speaking out when necessary on controversial
issues and stepping in unobtrusively and rapidly to
bridge a gap or meet a shortfall during times of economic
constraint. Because in life David strongly censored
the extravagance of exorbitant overheads, the Trust
places great emphasis on minimal expenditure in this
respect, thereby true to his example and ensuring
that donations reach their target in the most practical
and positive way.
