FAQs

Why are elephants tracked?

• Save the Elephants (STE) uses GPS-tracking equipment to better understand elephant movements and behaviour. As the human population grows across Africa and the landscape gets increasingly crowded, this tracking data is key to defining and protecting elephant habitats and the corridors that link areas used by both elephants and other wildlife. To date, STE has tracked over 900 elephants!

  Using this technology they can also tell when an elephant has become unnaturally mobile – a warning that can indicate that an elephant is in trouble. These alerts are issued to wildlife management teams to allow a rapid response and can make the difference between life and death.

  STE provides Fahlo with delayed tracking data for security reasons so we’re never giving away an elephant’s live location. Despite this delay, you’ll still receive a near daily update of your elephant’s location from just a few weeks ago!

How are elephants tracked?

• “Elephant collars contain a small transmitter and by using GPS and satellite tracking technology (similar to that used in car navigation systems) Save the Elephants can monitor the location of a collared elephant at regular intervals (every 30-60 minutes). This information plays an important part in defining and protecting elephant corridors. We later plot these coordinates on a map so you can see where your Fahlo elephant has travelled!” - Save the Elephants

Does tracking harm the elephants?

• “No - the collar does not harm the elephant; the collar is very light for the elephant and sits loosely around the neck like a pendant would on us. Collaring is carefully performed by an experienced team. Firstly, an elephant is located by a ground team or from the air, then a vet will prepare and shoot a dart containing anaesthetic. A collar is fitted as quickly and safely as possible before the vet helps revive the elephant in minutes.” - Save the Elephants
  

What does the elephant bracelet mean?

• The elephant is symbolic of good luck. For this reason, wearing elephant jewelry is thought to bring the wearer good luck, and gifting elephant jewelry is a way of wishing someone good luck and good fortune.
