AMBOSELI TRUST FOR ELEPHANTS
Amboseli Trust endeavors to protect and sustain African elephant populations in Amboseli’s vital National Park. World-renowned wildlife researcher, Dr. Cynthia Moss, founded the Amboseli Trust for Elephants in 1972. For over five decades the Trust has tracked and studied over 3,500 elephants making this the longest-running study of wild elephants ever undertaken. Residing in Amboseli, Dr. Moss promotes conservation through research projects, community involvement, and worldwide advocacy for elephant protection.
OUR WORK
March to the Top was compelled to make an impact after our first visit to the Amboseli National Park where we witnessed the essential work of Dr. Moss in protecting elephant populations. We provide ongoing support for the important work conducted by the Amboseli Trust in monitoring 57 elephant groups. In 2018, the 4th graders at our partnered project New Hope – AINA named two elephants in the LC family, calling them Latifa and Lolena.
WHY IT MATTERS
In 1979, there were an estimated 1.3 million elephants in Africa; ten years later, there were only about 600,000. Ensuring the survival of the elephant in today’s Africa is an increasingly complex problem. The ivory trade, increases in the human population, and negative impacts of climate change have taken a serious toll.
“Elephants form deep bonds with each other, which last for decades. Elephant survival is strongly affected by access to the social and ecological knowledge that older elephants hold; where to go, what to eat, how to avoid danger.”
– Dr. Cynthia Moss
