Adopt an Elephant

Car for the Wild elephant adoption program - the perfect gift for just £29.95

Elephants are the world's largest land mammals. Their noses, gestation period (nearly two years), front teeth, and maybe even their memory, are the longest in the animal kingdom. They, along with their extinct relatives, have lived everywhere, except Australia and Antarctica, from sea level to heights of more than 3600m, in habitats ranging from deserts to rain forests to glaciers. In fact, if it were not for humans, elephants would probably rate among the most successful species on Earth.

Once forming an almost continuous series of populations from Africa to China, they are now made up of just two main groups, African and Asian Elephants, which are now seperated by several thousand miles. Loss of habitat and the ivory trade are the two biggest factors in the decline in elephant population. During the 1980's over half of Africa's elephants had been killed and the elephant population was reduced by 700,000. Regarding habitat, the pattern is a familiar one as traditional elephant habitat is carved up for agricultural use and the elephants confined to ever shrinking areas.

Here is the Story of Burra the elephant

Burra was born in June 2000. At 8 months old he was found trapped by a snare. The steel cable around his neck had almost cut one ear in half. Luckily rangers removed the snare and Burra was taken to the stockades in Tsavo East National Park to receive veterinary care. His keepers were worried that he would be unable to swallow milk as his throat had been so badly constricted. However, after several hours' persuasion, Burra managed to feed. Burra has now recovered and lives with the older orphans in Tsavo National Park. He has a very calm temperament, often discouraging fights between the other elephants.
