Registered in 2002, elephant family has developed into a lean and focused force for the endangered Asian elephant. Aware of overcrowding in the charity sector, we exist out of urgent necessity due to a lack of investment and attention going into their conservation . At present we are the only charity in the UK solely dedicated to wild and captive Asian elephants. Our vision is a world in which the Asian elephant is no longer an endangered species and is able to live unthreatened within its own habitat.

We currently support 10 projects across India, Indonesia, Malaysia and Thailand. Our activities range from securing vital wildlife ‘corridors' and helping remote farming communities to live safely inside wild elephant territory to rescuing abused street elephants and providing free veterinary care. These projects fall under three core areas of work: (1) habitat conservation; (2) health & welfare; and (3) education. elephant family only partners with rigorously selected grassroots organisations best equipped to achieve significant results on the ground.
