Elephants love their families as much as we do.
They are emotional creatures, who delight at a birth, grieve at a death, and play with joy and intelligence.
There are now just 200 left in Virunga.
The good news is that they've found a solution to keep them safe. Just one radio tracking collar can protect a whole elephant family. Significantly increasing the effectiveness of dedicated ranger patrols, keeping them close enough to prevent poachers from approaching and enabling fast responses to threat.
In 5 weeks time Iain Douglas Hamilton from Save the Elephants is flying over with 5 collars.
We would love to buy ten more collars so we can protect the remaining elephant families, we can do it with your help.
$120,000 will allow the tracking of ten Virunga elephant families for three years, using ten professionally-fitted collars to provide satellite-linked monitoring 24/7.
It will also enable deploy specially trained rangers to provide the elephants with close security around the clock.
This will allow Virunga to help their elephant families roam safely and freely on the savannahs, in the hope that one day, elephants will once again dominate the park's grasslands. To learn more about the crucially important work being done in Virunga, visit http://www.virunga.org

Thank you so much, on behalf of Virunga's elephant families, for your help in protecting them.
