Dream big, giant impact
Giant Impact
These legendary elephants, known for their exceptionally long and heavy tusks, are now extremely rare due to decades of targeted poaching. Every tusker lost is not only the loss of an individual animal, but the disappearance of irreplaceable genetic heritage.

Who we support
We donate to the Big Life Foundation, which protects roughly 1.6 million acres of the Greater Amboseli ecosystem across Kenya and Tanzania. Its model is community-led: rangers recruited from local communities, coordinated across outposts, working with the people who live alongside the elephants.
What the money does
Across the Greater Amboseli ecosystem, Big Life's 400+ community rangers are working every day to protect elephants like One Ton. The rangers' presence is a constant safeguard, not just against poachers, but also to reduce conflict between people and wildlife. And innovative solutions, like a solar-powered crop-protection fence, help keep both elephants and farmers safe.
Tuskers
There are 23 remaining great tuskers of East Africa. Towering above the savannah with tusks that sweep the ground. Their tusks weigh more than 100 kg. 10 of them call Big Life's area of operation home.
