10th Anniversary Celebration Trek Sept 2013
To celebrate EHRA's 10th Anniversary and to raise funds for our conflict prevention programmes, we are holding a fundraising trek through the team's favourite areas of the desert from the 7th - 13th September 2013.
Taking part in the trek will be members of the EHRA team (and the dogs!) who will guide you through the 141km route, and will take time to tell you about their knowledge and understanding of our elephants over the last 10 years.
The route starts near to the Brandberg and ends in the Skeleton Coast town of Swakopmund.
There is the option of taking part in an elephant patrol the week after the trek.

Elephant Conservation
Elephant Human Relations Aid (EHRA) is a Namibian registered not for gain organisation (registration number 21/2003/630).
We aim to reduce elephant-human conflict in the southern Kunene region of Namibia.
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.

The PEACE Project
EHRA has started a elephant training programme for community members, schools, community game guards and lodge staff.
Practical information is given to help people be safe during elephant visits, including how to protect yourself and your homestead, as well as information on elephants and their behaviour.
Conflict often occcurs and it is largely due to lack of knowledge about elephant habits.
