Vanishing Heritage: Protecting the Elephants of Amboseli
In 2010, IFAW launched a new initiative to protect elephants in Kenya's Amboseli National Park called the Amboseli Elephant Project. The Amboseli Elephant Project focuses on three elements critical to the survival of the Amboseli ecosystem and the elephants that depend on it for survival: 1) Law Enforcement 2) Scientific Research and 3) Community Outreach. The video features interviews with IFAW Regional Director East Africa, James Isiche; IFAW Head of Programs East Africa, Steve Njumbi, IFAW Elephant Expert, Cynthia Moss; and IFAW Research Associate, Vicky Fishlock.

Poor elephants..... In Asia, India, Thailand, Burma,..... they have been captured, chained, beaten with bull hooks and forced to work in logging, trekking, begging in the city streets,.... In other Western countries, elephants have been imported and forced to work in circuses, in road shows,.... In Africa, elephants have been killed by poachers for their ivory (tusks).,... When will elephants enjoy their lives, live freely in the willd?
thank you!
Thank you everyone for love elephants

There are 1600 Elephants in Abroseli National Park,and that number stayed stable despite the surge of poaching in Kenya & all central and Eastern Africa in 2010-2015!!Lets hope,that in 2016 things will get better after recent anti-ivory campain in China-Hong-Kong & recent US & UK decisions.
They are doing a very good job....what we all need is to take awareness .But my question is:It,s all about profit and the riches are a main problem how can anyone stop them?
África for black People! !

layla levani most of the whites you see on these conversations in Africa ... 90% were born and raised in Africa... Descendants of colonialists but Cynthia moss is American
Why can’t the elephants be darted and their tusks cut off? This would stop the poachers! Same with the rino.

Hi, MJ M! Thanks for your support! Unfortunately it’s not that simple. Removing ivory from these living animals does not mean they’ll be safe from poaching. Elephant tusk removal is not possible as it is part of the boney skull processes, hence the reason why poachers have to kill elephants to remove the tusks. To cut the tusks shorter would be a logistical task. Although the stump is only 7-10% of the whole, this “small” bit of ivory still means big money on the black market. Besides, elephants evolved tusks and rhinos evolved horns for good reasons. They need them to live fully functional, normal lives. You can read more about these creative techniques to stop poaching from our blog! g.ifaw.org/2Ah1ZYh

IFAW - International Fund For Animal Welfare Wrong many elephants, both male and female are born without tusks. Right??? Say it, say it.

Most healthy adult African elephants have tusks. It's uncommon for them not to and if they do they are at a disadvantage. The tusks allow them to have more protection and acquire food easier. Shortening the tusks isn't the solution.
