It is aimed at protecting the environment, conserving, restoring and securing biodiversities.
It gives elephants that have been hurt or abandoned by their herd an opportunity to be cared for and nurtured back to health, before being let into the wild again.
Some elephants are lost when they are young, and therefore they are taken care of until they can be reunited with their mother or let back into nature.
This cause enables a spread of word as to how important wildlife is and to prevent these animals from being extinct.

How will you use the £50.00 seed money to start supporting this cause?

This cause can be supported in several ways including donations which can be utilised to continue the uprising awareness, and to support the animals through necessities. Examples include milk bottles, food, shelter maintenance etc.

To gather the funds, we can do one of the followings:
1. Bake Sale

The elephants are the largest land mammals on earth, but due to human intervention, they are at serious risk of extinction. There are many threats to the elephants like ivory poaching, human-wildlife conflict, and habitat destruction. Sheldrick Wildlife Trust's mission is to save the natural habitat of these species, address animal welfare issues, and rescue them.
