Elephant conservation should be promoted through applied research on elephants and their population and habitat, development of elephant conservation plans, conservation education and efforts to decrease human-elephant conflict, among others.

  To be eligible, project work must relate to the African elephant. If work is in a different area, the grant proposal must show direct relevance to African elephants. Applicants should submit a proposed project narrative and budget. They must also obtain a government endorsement letter from the agency responsible for area/species the project protects.
