desertelephant.org EHRA elephant conservation volunteer vid
Visit www.desertelephant.org Ever wanted to volunteer your time? Human - animal conflicts are happening all over the world. In Namibia, desert dwelling elephants are in competition for natural resources with the human inhabitants of the northern Erongo and Kunene regions. Elephant Human Relations Aid (EHRA) is a project that was launched as a result of this conflict.
EHRA believes that through assisting the human inhabitants in constructing protective structures around water points, educating community members about elephant behaviour, creating alternative drinking points for the elephants and promoting tourism in the affected areas, we can assist in alleviating the current pressure facing communal farmers. Thereby helping to promote the future of the desert dwelling elephant in harmony with the continuous positive development of the conservancies and their ideals.
This video is a result of the time I volunteered with EHRA.
