Southern Africa Elephant Project

Welcome to AfricanElephants.com, home of the Southern Africa Elephant Project! African elephants are a keystone species that play a critical role in their environment, interacting with plants and animals, as well as people. Our research focuses on these interactions of African elephants in southern African savannas to better understand the influences that elephants have on the environment and to enable more effective conservation and management strategies. For more details about the research conducted, see the About section. Also, be sure to check the News page for recent updates.
