The Elephant Foundation
Is an organisation that is determined to end illegal wildlife trade and to abolish acts of poaching. We hope to achieve this through education on the importance of conservation, informing of the harm that the illegal wildlife trade causes, and fundraising for organisations working on the ground in East Africa and Asia to protect endangered species.
What we do at TEF?
Every year we hold our Elephant Week in Hong Kong where we visit schools and hold our Gala Dinner for fundraising. To date, we have seen over 20,000 students and helped educate them about these magnificent animals, the importance of supporting conservation programs, and how the little and large ways they could help the cause. To assist with this we brought a Maasai warrior to Hong Kong and also one of the kings of conservation in East Africa, Richard Bonham from Big Life Foundation. The week culminated in a gala dinner for over 200 people, with the main objective of fundraising to help our partner organisation tackle the poaching problems on the ground in Africa. The impact was strong.
