Our team is uncovering how elephants interact with Big Life Foundation's mitigation fence. A few fence breaches have occurred, requiring a change in tactics. The data collected is helping us develop better mitigation strategies in collaboration with Big Life Foundation.

We have been working with US Government representatives and legal experts to help put this ban into place. biologicaldiversity.org/w/news/press-r…

Together with Amboseli Trust for Elephants and Center for Biological Diversity, we have filled a petition to the US Department of the Interior and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service seeking a permanent rule banning U.S. trophy imports from the Amboseli-West Kilimanjaro elephant population. biologicaldiversity.org/species/mammal…

Conor was born in 1984 to the CB family, the same family as Craig who is very well known in Amboseli. These photos from our archives show the dramatic change in males as they grow into maturity. The left photo was taken in 2005 and the right in 2024.

This is Pauleta, Placida's younger sister who leads the PC family. Understanding individual elephants is central to our work; helping us educate, raise awareness, and shape conservation strategies. It's a crucial approach in safeguarding elephants who are long-lived & complex.

Ilka is the matriarch of the IB Family. Knowing her and other individual elephants deepens our understanding of their complex social lives. Every insight we gain fuels our commitment to protecting their habitat and ensuring their survival in the wild.

Our elephant fence study is showing great promise, with interesting insight already being revealed. We're still analyzing data and refining plans, but this research is key for making smart conservation decisions that use our resources more efficiently. More news to come!

The beauty & charm of Amboseli in the winter dry season: hazy horizons, brown and golden landscapes, and Mount Kilimanjaro occasionally appearing from behind the clouds. Each season here has its own unique magic!

Putting long-run sustainability behind short-term profits epitomizes the ultimate problem with trophy hunting in unfenced systems: the incentive to “over-harvest” is more powerful than conservation or trophy hunter's instinct for self-preservation. dailymaverick.co.za/opinionista/20…

Born in 1983 to Chloe of the CB family, Calvin has been a part of our research since birth. From a curious calf to a strong, independent male, we’ve followed his life closely. Now, in his prime, Calvin freely roams the Amboseli ecosystem living out his life.

Celebrating 52 years of the Amboseli Trust for Elephants! Founded in 1972 by Cynthia Moss, we’ve tracked and studied Amboseli’s elephants, building essential data for their conservation. Hugely grateful to all our supporters who make this work possible.
