Greetings,

When we announced our 25th Anniversary logo we received a huge response asking for shirts and merchandise featuring that amazing design. We listened. After the incredible success of last year’s symposium in Thailand, we heard from you how eager you were for a virtual symposium before we next meet in-person. We listened. The incredible eagerness of all of you to see elephants in range countries in IEF-vetted settings has been overwhelming. Again we listened. IEF has some amazing opportunities below that are inspired by you!

Limited Edition Anniversary Merchandise

To celebrate IEF’s 25 years of elephant conservation we held a contest to develop a special logo, and wow did we get incredible results! Our 25th Anniversary logo features an Asian and an African elephant each overlayed with their home ranges. This creative design shows how truly small our world is and how we need to work together to make sure there is always space for elephants.

When we announced this design, we immediately received requests for t-shirts. We are proud to announce IEF’s partnership with Donor 360. We hand-selected organic, carbon-neutral products of high quality that you will be proud to wear. Check out the shop here.

Seeing an elephant in person teaches us to care; seeing a herd of elephants in person gives a lifetime of inspiration. Few people are lucky enough to experience wildlife in its native habitat, but this November IEF has partnered with Holbrook Travel to offer an incredible experience.

Join us this Fall, November 5 – November 16, 2024 for a trip of a lifetime to Tanzania!

Tanzania calls to mind vast landscapes dotted with herds of wildlife, lions lounging blissfully on sun-drenched rocks, and mighty elephants trundling through tall grasses. This 12-day safari with IEF makes this vision a reality in Tanzania’s most celebrated parks for spectacular wildlife viewing. Set out in Arusha, Tarangire, and Ngorongoro for daily wildlife-viewing drives in open-top safari vehicles, then cap off the experience with three days on the Serengeti to witness the world-famous Great Migration. Return each day to memorable accommodations nestled amid idyllic African beauty, from the rim of Ngorongoro Crater to luxury tented camps perfectly positioned to access migration paths.

We can’t wait to share the world with you and help you marvel at the majesty of wildlife! Find more details here.

The 19th International Elephant Conservation & Research Symposium in Thailand was a jumbo success, leaving many eager for the next one! While we won’t meet in person again until 2025, we thought a virtual symposium in 2024 would be a great way to stay connected in between!

From July 30-Aug 2, the 20th International Elephant Conservation & Research Symposium will be held virtually from 6am-10am PST daily!

We will feature the latest on elephant conservation covering topics like human-elephant conflict, rangers & security, EEHV, conservation messaging, and more! For those of you who are unable to travel to our global meetings, this is the perfect opportunity to attend a symposium!
