Description

1) Objective

The goal of this program is to reduce threats to Asian elephants in their natural habitats. Proposals should identify specific conservation actions that have a high likelihood of creating lasting benefits. Project activities that emphasize data collection and status assessment should describe a direct link to management action, and explain how lack of information has been a key limiting factor for management action in the past. Proposals that do not identify how actions will reduce threats or that do not demonstrate a strong link between data collection and management action will be rejected.

The Asian Elephant Conservation Fund recognizes the common goals and priorities of the 13 Asian elephant range state governments as stated in the Jakarta Declaration for Asian Elephant Conservation and supports projects that promote conservation of Asian elephants and their habitats through: (1) support of protected area/reserve management and law enforcement in Asian elephant ranges; (2) applied research on elephant populations and their habitats, including surveys and monitoring; (3) activities that result in fewer wild elephants being removed from the wild, reduce demand in consumer countries for ivory and other body parts, and prevent illegal killing of elephants; (4) development and execution of elephant conservation management plans; (5) compliance with the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) and other applicable treaties and laws that prohibit or regulate the taking or trade of elephants or regulate the use and management of elephant habitat; (6) strengthening local capacity and enhancing community engagement to implement conservation programs that enhance conservation stewardship; (7) efforts to decrease human-elephant conflict; and (8) transfrontier elephant conservation.
