Save the Elephants works to secure a future for elephants. Specialising in elephant research, we provide scientific insights into elephant behaviour, intelligence, and long-distance movements and apply them to the challenges of elephant survival and harmonious coexistence with humanity. High-tech tracking helps plan landscapes while low-tech beehive fences, among other tools, provide people\/communities living with elephants with protection as well as income.<\/p>\n
Each year, we accept a small number of interns to Save the Elephants in Kenya. These internships comprise 1.5 month professional placements with one of our research projects in Kenya, designed for university graduates pursuing a career in conservation, with skills in scientific data collection and analysis. Structured around our three pillars, these internships harness the skills of interns while involving them directly with projects.<\/p>\n
Interns contribute to our Long Term Monitoring work, behavioural studies, human-elephant conflict or conservation education.<\/p>\n
