Over the years we have had some amazing artwork donated to the research to help us raise funds.
Our most recent piece is by Kevin Levell of a baby elephant running. This has already been put on postcards which we shall sell in camp and on the website - we hope to be able to put it to good use in other aspects aswell, including large prints available to buy.
Thanks Kevin.

Hi, I am Kate Evans, or more commonly known as Elephant Kate. I am a zoologist whose great love is elephants. Since 2002 I have been living my dream by researching elephants in the Okavango Delta in Botswana. I decided I was going to be an elephant researcher when I was seven. I was living in Asia at the time and visited the elephant orphanage in Kandy, Sri Lanka. It was there that I made up my mind I was going to work for these majestic and intelligent animals. I made a promise to an elephant and we all know an elephant never forgets!!!! It took me 20 years to finally realise my dream and start my life as an elephant researcher. It was 20 years well spent and now I have to pinch myself most days to make sure it is true and I am living my dream.
I now head up a team who are researching the elephants and trying to work out the social and ecological needs of the largest remaining population of the African elephant. From time to time, other team members will add their thoughts and experiences. I love sharing my experiences - so I hope that this blog is a medium through which you will be able to join the elephants and I on our adventures in the Okavango Delta, Botswana. -
100% of your donation, minus a small bank fee, will go to your intended purpose.
Donations made here are safe.

I was devastated to read in the Sunday Times travel section yesterday about the permits issued to hunters in Namibia , where 5 or 6 breeding bull desert-elephains have recently been killed.It was reported that the population of these rare creatures is now unlikely to be viable- has anyone else heard of this?
