About us

The association ‘Rettet die Elefanten Afrikas e.V.’ (Save the African Elephant) is a registered non-profit-making organisation which was founded in 1989 to protect this threatened species.

Declared objectives:

• Donations are used to finance projects to protect elephants and to stamp out poaching in East and Central Africa.
• Intensive explanatory work informs people of the threat to the existence of African elephants.
• Emphatic support for the demand for a worldwide long term ban on ivory.

Current projects:

• Thuma & Dedza-Salima Forest Reserve Project in Malawi. (Sponsoring of scouts and financing an anti-poaching team, including a new camp).
• Sponsoring the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust in Kenya (raising orphan elephants)
• Financing Kenyan radio broadcasts about the situation and the importance of elephants for their own country.
• Maintenance of a fence in Ithumba, Kenya, which was erected in cooperation with REA to avoid conflict situations between people and elephants and to protect each side.
• Support for the „Shumata Elephant Patrol“ project in Tanzania.
• Procuring sponsors for orphan elephants.

Thomas Töpfer is the president of the association.
