Space for Giants protects Africa’s elephants from immediate threats like poaching while working to secure their habitats forever in landscapes facing greatly-increasing pressures. We use innovative, proven interventions to confront acute issues like the ivory trade and long-term challenges such as balancing the needs of wildlife and growing human populations. We seek solutions rooted in the wisdom of people who understand wildlife best, because they study it, or live alongside it, or both. And we understand long-term success depends on creating economic and social benefits for the people who share their environment with wildlife. Everywhere we work, in Kenya, Gabon, Uganda, and Botswana, we use science and best-practice to develop and deliver anti-poaching initiatives, secure protected landscapes for elephants, work to lessen the problems that arise where people and elephants live alongside each other, and provide conservation training and education. Space for Giants initiatives include the Giants Club, an international forum of political leaders, conservationists, and philanthropists united to protect half of Africa’s elephants by 2020, and Journeys for Giants, tailoring extraordinary adventures for supporters to experience our work on the ground. We connect to a very broad spectrum of people and organisations across the world to explain what we do, why it works, and to ask and lobby for their support. Together, we can help bring about the kinds of changes to international policy that we know will help most in protecting Africa’s elephants. We are a registered charity in the UK and registered non-profit in the USA, and are headquartered in Kenya.
