For more than half a century ElephantVoices has studied wild elephants as individuals, following their lives across generations. Learn why long-term fieldwork matters, where we have worked, how we identify elephants, and how our detailed observation, photography, and acoustic recording of elephants has turned data into scientific discoveries, knowledge and protection for them.

We have studied elephants in different parts of Africa and work globally for their conservation and welfare.
In Amboseli, Kenya, decades of research on individually known elephants have revealed the depth and complexity of elephant society. This extraordinary research has made groundbreaking insights into elephant relationships, musth, and the deep complexity of their behavior and vocal communication.
Between 2011 and 2016, ElephantVoices led a pioneering citizen-science initiative in the Maasai Mara, connecting people to individually known elephants. Our work helped identify critical corridors, document threats, and shape lasting conservation plans to protect the Mara’s connectivity and future.
Gorongosa National Park, Mozambique, is one of Africa’s great recovering ecosystems, where elephants are rebuilding their lives after the intense trauma of poaching during the civil war. Our long-term research on individual elephants documented how the lasting scars of war shaped a culture, and the extraordinary resilience of elephants as safety and trust slowly return.
