In action today
Fighting the ivory trade is a constant challenge as those who wish to sell ‘white gold’ put elephants under further pressure. So Born Free’s support for anti-poaching continues in Kenya, Tanzania, Zambia and Zimbabwe, not only against well-armed poachers, but in an effort to hold back the tide of deadly wire snares that are indiscriminately wiping out wild animals in their hundreds of thousands.
- Providing milk for orphans in Sri Lanka
Where humans and elephants come into conflict, Born Free tries to find ways to create tolerance which sometimes means relocating individual elephants from places of danger to safety. With our support, orphaned elephants in Sri Lanka are cared for at the Elephant Transit Home’s intensive care unit and ultimately returned to the wild. And, of course, Born Free continues to oppose the keeping of elephants in captivity in zoos and circuses, their capture from the wild and their exploitation as diplomatic gifts.
