Greetings,

Happy New Year! We are grateful for each and every one of you for helping to make last year incredible!

Thanks to you IEF is ready to charge into 2024 with the same focus and dedication to make a positive impact for elephants and other wildlife. We’ve got big things in store, stay tuned!

Save the Date!

July 30-August 2, 2024

We had an incredibly successful 19th International Elephant Conservation and Research Symposium in Chiang Mai last year. Since we had received more presentations than we could accommodate, we believe that many global elephant conservationists and researchers would be interested in presenting their work in 2024 at our virtual symposium instead of waiting until our next in-person event (which will be in 2025).

Stay tuned for more details!

Thank you for reading our eNewsletter. Please consider sharing IEF’s news on social media or directly with a friend to enable us to build on the great work you are supporting.

Together we can secure a future where elephants thrive!

Warm Wishes,
Debbie & the IEF Team
