The Last Mali Desert Elephants
by Save the Elephants Tour
Location: Mali
Themes: Drought and Wildlife Conservation
Summary: Save the Elephants has been studying the Mali desert elephants since 2000. Using GPS tracking collars, we have tracked the movements of a number of individuals and are unlocking the mysteries behind their long-distance migration. The elephants inhabit an area to the south of Timbuktu called the Gourma and are the most northern population of elephants in Africa. Although specialized at surviving the harsh conditions of the Sahel, they are extremely vulnerable to climatic change as well as drought. Save the Elephants, in collaboration with the government of Mali, hope to secure a future for this important natural heritage of Mali. For more information please visit us at www.savetheelephants.org
