Save Elephants in Africa

Take action and help the San Diego Zoo protect nearly half of Africa’s elephants by supporting Project Elephant Footprint! Leading the effort is world-renowned elephant ecologist Dr. Mike Chase, who has discovered the world’s largest and longest elephant migration in Botswana and the surrounding region. Our annual goal of $250,000 will support Dr. Chase’s research, advocacy and conservation efforts, and will truly make a difference in the lives of these elephants. Learn more…
