In recognition of World Elephant Day on 12th August, we’d like to shine a spotlight on these incredible creatures. Elephants are highly sensitive and caring, but many may not know the pivotal role these species play in our planet’s biodiversity. Elephants are effectively our ecosystem engineers. Not only do they make pathways in forested habitats and the savanna that allow for wildlife passage, but their footprints can also create a micro-system, when filled with water, that helps to provide homes for tadpoles and other living organisms. This is why it’s so important that we do all we can to support the preservation and protection of the world’s elephants.

At Exodus, we aim to improve life through travel, for the people we meet, the places we visit and the planet we explore, and a big part of this is wildlife conservation. Read on to find out how our ‘Free to Roam’ Project in partnership with Tsavo Trust and Tofauti on the borders of Tsavo West National Park in Kenya is helping to make new pathways for elephants while empowering local communities.
