Abstract
Founded in 1998, the International Elephant Foundation (IEF) is dedicated to securing a future where elephants thrive. Through funding conservation projects spanning the globe, collaborating with range-country partners, lending expertise, facilitating idea exchange and backing innovation, IEF is making a positive impact on the future prospects for the Endangered Asian elephant Elephas maximus and Vulnerable African elephant Loxodonta africana. In 2018, IEF supported 26 projects in 14 countries.
