Sponsor an Elephant!

Sponsoring an elephant is a way to help us secure everything needed to improve an elephant’s living condition: provision of veterinary care (medicines, treatments…), food (agriculture of food supplements), land (rental & acquisition, fencing) and support the wages of the elephant’s mahout.

As you become an elephant’s sponsor, you will be able to download a high resolution Sponsoring Certificate bearing your name and the elephant’s. You can support any of the elephants listed below. We are not in a position to provide sponsors with regular updates on each elephant. However, we strongly encourage you to register to our Newsletter on this website to stay informed about them and our conservation work.

Thank you very much for your kind support!
