A Note from IEF’s Executive Director,
Deborah Olson

From all of us at the International Elephant Foundation, I want to wish you a warm and Happy Holiday!

In the recipe for conservation, YOU are the key ingredient. I am reminded every single day that none of the International Elephant Foundation’s work is possible without your support.

Wildlife rangers, community outreach programs, ranger stations, and efforts to secure habitat are some of the other important ingredients. These are the elements I think about every day in my role with IEF as we strive to build a sustainable future where elephants thrive.

I will not stop and accept a world without elephants, and I know you feel the same.

Already this year, IEF-supported projects have built a brand new ranger station in the heart of poaching country in Uganda, taught thousands of community members how to peacefully live alongside elephants, protected and monitored forest elephant corridors, and advanced trials of a vaccine for EEHV. Your support has made this possible.

Your generosity has taken us farther than we could have imagined. Let’s continue to protect elephants together!

Happy Holidays,

Deborah Olson
