Save the Elephants, founded by Dr Iain Douglas-Hamilton, is a Kenya-based organisation. It's mission is to secure a future for elephants and to sustain the beauty and ecological integrity of the places where they live; to promote man's delight in their intelligence and the diversity of their world, and to develop a tolerant relationship between the two species.
