"Save the Elephants (STE) is a UK registered charity, based in Kenya that conducts pioneering research into the ecology and behaviour of elephants and works to secure them a future on a fast-changing continent.

At Save The Elephant’s research station in Samburu National Reserve, northern Kenya, our researchers study wild elephants on a daily basis. With over 900 identified elephants been recorded using the reserves along the Ewaso Ny’iro river over many decades, STE’s intimate knowledge of their family structures and history has opened a rare window into the world of elephants. Our second research station is in Sagalla community in Tsavo, southern Kenya, where the organisation’s Human-Elephant Co-Existence team investigates solutions to the long-term challenges that elephants face.

STE partners with world leading institutions to develop new technology to understand and protect elephants. Cutting edge tracking systems now help scientists and protected area managers across the continent to defend elephants and their ecosystems, and plan their future. Work on specialised camera, artificial intelligence, meanwhile, promises to revolutionises both fundamental research and wildlife population monitoring."
