About Elephant Watch Portfolio

At the Elephant Watch Portfolio, we try to use eco-tourism to lift up local populations by improving livelihoods and reinforcing the conservation ethic of traditional cultures to protect and preserve wild areas and animals. We have a deeply green eco-philosophy that informs our work, striving at every turn to minimize our footprint and do no harm.

We believe that development is welcome, but not at the automatic expense of the ancient ways of the nomadic people whose understanding of the wild environment is second to none. The continued well-being of our planet, its mountains, streams, savannahs, swamps, forests, deserts and seas are part of our responsibility as decent beings to protect for the benefit of our children and children’s children and all other creatures on it, who we believe have an intrinsic right to exist with or without man.

We aim to bring visitors to these wild places to encourage connections between cultures from all corners of the planet, to reconnect people to the natural world, and to fan the flames of compassion.
