• Engagement in collaborative research on elephant conservation, communication, behavior and culture.
• Continuation of our long-term fight against the ivory trade, the trophy hunting of elephants, and the capture of elephants for captivity.
• Provision of science-based advice, statements and affidavits on elephant conservation issues and welfare cases.
• Initiation and support of collaborative efforts to improve the conservation of wild elephants and the welfare of those in captivity.
• Engagement with the media to contribute toward a better understanding of conservation issues and interests and needs of elephants.
• Education through ElephantVoices.org, our social media accounts and in collaboration with others.
