SPONSOR
AN ELEPHANT
Elephant sponsorships provide the opportunity to make a positive impact on the lives
of these gentle giants. The funding we receive through sponsorships supports our research, which guides the management decisions of the park, and improves the welfare of our herd. Moreover, it enables us to contribute to the growing field of exploration into elephant behaviour, physiology, and health, which is of great benefit to elephant welfare and husbandry standards worldwide.
Buy a sponsorship for yourself to support your favourite elephant/ herd, or treat someone else!
Our sponsorships have gone digital to minimize our footprint, reduce costs, and look out for the environment. Our first introductory magazine can be acquired in printed form at the curio shop.

Conservation Through Education
Through your elephant sponsorships, you are helping to support the work that AERU does. We are dedicated to the advancement and dissemination of information relating to all aspects of African elephants, with especially their welfare and management in semi-captive facilities. However, much of what we discover can also benefit elephant conservation in the wild.
Projects funded through the Sponsorship Programme:
- Studies on various aspects of elephant behaviour in different environments
- Physiological analyses of dung and other samples
- Establishing novel, effective, and non-invasive measures of captive and wild elephant health, behaviour, and welfare.
- Elephant enrichment projects to promote natural behaviour and well-being.
- Optimisation of elephant welfare in relation to housing and husbandry
- Environmental Education to equip future generations with the knowledge to protect our wildlife and natural heritage.
