We can only protect our world if we stay hopeful and remember why we do the work.
A future where wildlife roams freely, where coexistence is normal, and where we all get to stay a little bit wild is a future we all have to create together, starting now.

Connected habitats = Happy Wildlife 🐘🌿

Across forests, farmland and villages, wild animals move in search of food, water, and shelter. Wildlife corridors help keep these vital routes connected.

Stand with Assam’s communities.💚 Just weeks ago, communities across Assam were helping monitor elephant herds and protect people and wildlife. Today, they are facing devastating floods.

Flooding has affected over 600,000 people, destroying homes, livelihoods and essential supplies. Elephant Family is providing emergency funding to support 120–150 worst-affected families with essential food, bedding, hygiene supplies, lighting and items for children.

🐘 Boston, you're in the Elephant Path!

The Great Elephant Migration has arrived in Boston, bringing a powerful story of coexistence to the city. For generations, people and wildlife have shared landscapes, and this Migration invites us to consider how we can continue to make room for the wild.

As the Migration arrives in Boston, we acknowledge that the city stands on the unceded ancestral homelands of the Massachusett people, with deep ties to the Pawtucket, Wampanoag and Nipmuc nations, who have lived, travelled and cared for these lands for millennia.

Meet Tara, the elephant who inspired Elephant Family.
When our founder, Mark Shand, the late brother of Her Majesty The Queen, met Tara, it changed the course of his life. Through her, he fell in love with Asian elephants and dedicated his life to ensure their survival.

Tara's legacy lives on, inspiring our mission to help people and wildlife thrive together. She is living with Belinda Wright, who has cared for her over the last few decades. Tara remains at the heart of Elephant Family's story.

Through our Coexistence Fellowship, our conservationists Astha Chaudhary and Dipti Arora uncovered stories of women who, after marrying into new villages, found comfort and connection in watching the Sarus cranes around them.

By bringing these stories to light, they're helping shape conservation that values local knowledge, centres women's voices, and strengthens the bond between people and nature. 💚

Our thoughts are with everyone affected by the devastating floods in Assam, including communities in areas where we and our partners work.

We are thinking especially of those who have lost loved ones, homes and livelihoods at this difficult time.

Human-tiger conflict has real consequences both for India's rising tiger population and for the people who share their habitats.
To protect tigers, we are working with forest-fringe communities to ensure that they have the support and tools they need to protect themselves, their livestock, and their livelihoods and to continue sharing space with tigers safely
