I am delighted to share our 2024 Impact Report with you, highlighting the incredible difference your generosity has made over the past year. Thanks to your support, Pelorus Foundation's vital conservation efforts across Africa and Asia have continued to grow, protecting endangered wildlife, tackling illegal poaching, restoring ocean biodiversity, and strengthening our climate through innovative carbon removal projects.
In the attached report, you’ll find updates about our local project partners, including on page eight, the vital work of Elephant Havens in Botswana.
Over the past year, your support has meant more than ever. Botswana faced its worst drought in over a century. Alongside the ongoing threat of poaching, the drought has caused heartbreaking levels of starvation and dehydration among elephants, leaving many calves orphaned and alone.
Thankfully, our local project partner, Elephant Havens, has been there to step in. With your help, they’ve been able to provide a safe haven for these little ones, where they’re looked after around the clock by devoted handlers who bottle-feed them and take on the role of a new ‘mother’. It’s gentle, loving care that gives each orphaned elephant the chance to recover, grow strong, and ultimately, one day return to the wild.
Your donations not only help provide essential milk for the elephants, but recently donations like yours have also helped buy specialist weighing scales. These help the team keep a close eye on each elephant's health and development. It's a small, but vital part of giving the baby elephants the best possible future.
I do hope you enjoy reading our full Impact Report and seeing the real difference your ongoing support is helping to achieve. We couldn’t do it without you. Thank you.
