FINAL UPDATE

WORST DROUGHT IN 26 YEARS THREATENS SURVIVAL OF LAST DESERT ELEPHANTS IN WEST AFRICA

We are really pleased to announce that Mali’s elephants will get through this year because of the early rains and the back up we have, with your generous support, and in collaboration with the DNCN, facilitated of working pumps and a concrete water tank. However, their future is uncertain in the Gourma region, and their range and water requirements need to be protected. The current water crisis needs to be converted into an adequate plan for their long term survival using the information we now know about their detailed movements and migration patterns.

We are hugely appreciative of all the support that we’ve received, both financially from all of our donors, and in kind from colleagues and associates on the ground in Mali. We would like to thank the Malian Directorate National de la Protection de la Nature (DNCN) for their response to the elephant water crisis and for their support in the emergency action.
