I’M A BIG DEAL
Few people know that 96 elephants are poached each day. At this rate they will be extinct in the wild within a decade. Losing these important ecosystem engineers will be of extreme detriment to the environment and beyond. If the elephants go extinct, entire ecosystems could follow.
100% NON-GORY
How Many Elephants is a powerful design-led campaign, inspiring and educating a global audience about the devastating impacts of the African Elephant ivory trade. We use design to bridge the gap between scientific data and human connection in a non-gory way. To connect with this data visually is highly impactful.
WE HEART RANGERS
We champion and support female rangers on the front line, through funding anti-poaching, educational and community-orientated projects in Africa. Our founder, Holly Budge, earned a rare privilege of accompanying the Akashinga Rangers in Zimbabwe and The Black Mambas in South Africa in their work. These women are changing attitudes towards the role of women in Africa and beyond.

IMPACTED AUDIENCES
“To see 35,000 elephant graphics on a wall is both shocking and impactful. It’s a great way of raising awareness of the sheer scale of the poaching problem in Africa. The How Many Elephants Campaign is making a really positive contribution.”
