The date for the first ever EHRA family project is the 4-15th August 2012 and we have tailored the itinerary to suit younger volunteers, whilst still helping EHRA conserve the desert elephants.

Elephant Conservation

Namibia's desert-dwelling elephants are one of only 2 populations of elephants in Africa (the other one is in Mali) living in a desert environment.

Competiton with humans over scarce water resources causes conflict, which threatens the elephants existence.

Learn more about the desert elephants.

Fundraising Appeal

Read about and donate to EHRA's fundraising appeal which aims to replace our old and tired Landcruisers!

The Landcruisers are the back bone of EHRA's operation, working hard on build week and of course covering hundreds of kilometres on elephant tracking patrol.

The aim is to buy a newer model Landcruiser by the end of June to help us save valuable funds which will be put to better use in our conservation programmes.
