Elephants are keystone species essential to healthy ecosystems. Yet they face increasing threats from poaching, habitat loss, human–elephant conflict, and emerging diseases. Without coordinated action, their future is at risk. IEF brings together science-based solutions, community partnerships, and global collaboration to protect elephants where they live. Your gift protects elephants and the wild places they depend on.
We are a global conservation organization dedicated to securing a future for all elephant species through research, partnerships, and direct field action. Elephants are in crisis, and their future depends on the actions we take now. The International Elephant Foundation delivers real solutions that save lives and protect their habitats.

The Night the Poachers Came
Under darkness, poachers closed in on a nearby elephant herd. But community scouts — equipped and trained through IEF projects — were already watching. The scouts tracked the intruders, coordinated with enforcement teams, and intercepted them before a single elephant was harmed. The herd remained safe, unaware of the danger that never reached them.
A young calf lay abandoned, its leg badly injured by a snare and its herd forced to move on without it. Weak and terrified, it was running out of time. Rangers trained through an IEF‑funded program rushed in and provided lifesaving care.
What could have been a tragedy became a second chance. Today, that calf is healthy and growing — because someone chose to act.
We empower local leaders, students, and conservation professionals with training, resources, and opportunities to make lasting change.
We support field teams and community partners working to reduce poaching, protect habitats, and strengthen long‑term survival of elephant populations.
