Elephant Conservation
Rooted in the heart of the canopy, our story began with a simple dream: to share the raw beauty of the rainforest without disturbing its delicate balance. “Pura Vida” isn’t just a greeting; it’s our foundational philosophy of gratitude and simplicity.
Habitat loss and fragmentation
The Asian elephant is endangered, with only 35,000–40,000 left in the wild and populations continuing to decline.
Habitat Loss
Elephants need vast forests to survive.
Human Expansion
Development destroys and fragments elephant habitats.
Isolated Populations
Fragmentation isolates elephants and blocks migration.
Human-Wildlife Conflict
Asian elephants face threats from habitat loss, human-wildlife conflict, poaching, capture, and climate change. Conservation requires protecting habitats and migration corridors, reducing conflicts, strengthening law enforcement, and improving population monitoring.
Human Threats
Habitat loss, conflict, poaching, capture, and climate change threaten Asian elephants.
Conservation Efforts
Protecting habitats, reducing conflicts, enforcing laws, and monitoring populations help conserve elephants.
