Join AWF's Elephant Conservation Research Project
Help Africa's Elephants
Africa without elephants? At AWF we know that’s not an option. That’s why we have embarked on one of the most ambitious research and conservation projects in East Africa. In the Kilimanjaro Heartland, AWF’s Elephant Research Scientist, Alfred Kikoti, is searching for a way to give both elephants and people the space they need. By collaring 10 elephants with satellite-tracking technology, Kikoti is collecting data on elephant habitats and movement patterns. The information he gathers will help AWF and its partners develop conservation strategies that will give migrating animals in this transboundary area the widest berth possible. Alfred is planning on collaring additional elephants in the next few months to increase the accuracy of the data he is collecting.
In addition, Alfred also has a research camp to run in the heart of the bush, and leads a team of community scouts to prevent poaching in the area. To ensure that his team has adequate resources, AWF needs your support. Please join us today be part of AWF’s elephant conservation.
