Awakening to foraging elephants at 3am!

Hannah | 20 Years Old | UK | Volunteer Project

Read what fellow EHRA legend Hannah, aged 20 years from England has to say about her amazing experiences at The Elephant Human Relations Aid.

How did you feel when you first saw an elephant with EHRA and where did you see them (was it in camp or on build or patrol)?

Absolutely amazed. It was 3am at the base camp and they were eating the branches in the tree house. I couldn’t believe my eyes.

What did you learn about the problems of people and elephants living together?

The people are very scared of the elephants and the elephants can be very destructive. We need to work with villages and teach them how to co-exist with elephants. What will you always remember from your time with EHRA? Camping under the stars and not washing for a week! And the amazing hard work of the EHRA team and the difference they are making.
