Feed a Baby Elephant
In Botswana, the country with the largest elephant population, poaching, drought and other risks threat the already endangered African elephant with extinction. When adult mothers are killed, their babies face a challenging ordeal to survive alone in the wild.
Baby elephants need up to 20 litres of milk per day to survive during their first years of life. Every drop is packed with nutrients and antibodies they need to build strength, courage, and curiosity.
Together with a staple diet of mopane leaves, an orphaned baby can be nurtured by expert elephant handlers in the way they need.

Important information
These gifts represent a contribution towards Pelorus Foundation’s conservation partnerships rather than the purchase of a specific physical item.
All funds will be used where the need is greatest helping to support our work with local partners. Where a project’s immediate needs have already been met, circumstances change or additional funding is required elsewhere, Pelorus Foundation may direct the contribution towards similar conservation work where it can have the greatest impact.
