Born Free £ GBP ADOPT DONATE SHOP SUBSCRIBE OPEN MENU ADOPT AN ELEPHANT African elephants face a number of threats in the wild, edging them closer to extinction. From illegal killing for the ivory trade, trophy hunting and habitat destruction as human populations expand, to retaliatory killing for destroying crops – these factors have played a part in the overall decrease in elephant numbers. ADOPT THE AMBOSELI ELEPHANTS The Elephant Family are a large herd who live in Kenya’s Amboseli Park, at the foot of Mount Kilimanjaro. They are monitored by the Amboseli Elephant Research Project – the longest-running project of its kind in Africa. Your adoption will help protect them.
