Elephant-Human Relations Aid

Elephant-Human Relations Aid (EHRA) Namibia has helped build peaceful relationships between free-roaming desert elephants and local communities in Namibia since 2003. Due to limited resources out in the desert, Elephants and the communities of people who live there are stuck sharing an already scarce supply. This scarcity of resources has led to conflict between the two species trying to survive. EHRA's mission is to implement solutions that help combat elephant-human conflict. They build protective walls around water points/food, educate locals on conflict mitigation tactics, and track the herds. EHRA has started collaring elephants to get constant updates to know when they start to move towards these resources. EHRA also runs a volunteer project that invites people from all over the world to come help build these walls and track the elephants. They truly do such amazing work.
