The Elephant Initiative  is a nonprofit that provides guardianship to the highly endangered Asian elephant. We’ve witnessed first- hand the tears in captive elephants' eyes, and we’ve seen them rejoice once they arrive at  sanctuary.

 

It is our mission to educate the public and our supporters on the urgent problems facing captive elephants today. We fight for their freedom from abuse and captivity, targeting the dark side of tourism in Thailand and elsewhere. We advocate for their journey to liberation through the  funding of rescue missions, and we support  their extended care in  ethical sanctuaries once they get there.

 

All of these efforts are made possible through education, fundraising, and contributions to our nonprofit. 

 

Please join us on our journey to liberate and save this keystone species, the Asian elephant.
