SAVE THE ELEPHANTS 

Credited with paving the way for much of today’s elephant research and current conservation practices, Dr. Iain Douglas-Hamilton is recognized as one of the world’s foremost authorities on the famed species for his decades-long studies of their movements and social behaviors. His investigations led to the first worldwide conversation about the ivory poaching crisis and was instrumental in bringing about the world ivory trade ban. Douglas-Hamilton pioneered GPS tracking survey techniques and since founding Save The Elephants in 1993, has nurtured a new generation of researchers and conservationists within northern Kenya and around the world.
