Funds are desperately needed to help support a range of new and on-going activities to conserve elephants and to help the people living alongside them.

There are several opportunities to support our work and donations of varying amounts would greatly help. For example:

  • CHF 10 (€7) - allows a child to participate in a wildlife club school trip to an elephant reserve.

  • CHF 60 (€40) - pays a month's salary for an anti-poaching ranger.

  • CHF 100 (€70) - provides fuel for 2 months for a project education officer to visit local schools and organise slide shows and drama groups to raise awareness of elephant conservation.

  • CHF 200 (€140) - buys a year's supply of clothing and equipment for a ranger (e.g. waterproof clothing, sleeping bag, boots, rucksack).

  • CHF 900 (€600) - pays for the production of environmental education materials (e.g. books, leaflets, posters) for local schools.

  • CHF 1,200 (€800) - pays for the training of a park guard.

  • CHF 5,000 (€3500) - pays for the demarcation of a new protected area.

You too can make a contribution to WWF's International Conservation Programme on this site. Whatever you can give, every contribution counts towards our work around the world.
