Elephant Research In The Okavango Delta, Botswana

 

Our Research Team

 

 

In January 2002 Kate Evans started research on elephants in the Okavango Delta, with the help and support of Randall Moore of Elephant Back Safaris (EBS) and the Ministry of Environment, Wildlife and Tourism. The research is focused on adolescent male elephants and the transition from herd to bull life with an emphasis on research into the viability of releasing elephants into the wild from a captive environment.

 

The Charity Elephants For Africa was set up in December 2007 to support the research, a scholarship program for local students and an outreach education program. Mphoeng Ofithile joined us as our first local student in March 2008, and is busy learning the ropes, he will be starting his Masters degree in 2009. We are busy working hard to get the funds to support the Outreach Education Program and look forward to when we are up and running.
