The African elephant is a threatened species. The highest projected human population growth in the next 25 years is expected in Sub-Saharan Africa. Africa will need to increase its food three-fold, turning existing elephant habitat into cropland, which will increase human-elephant conflict.
IEF, a non-profit 501(c)(3) corporation of individuals and institutions, was formed in 1998 to promote conservation of African Elephants and Asian Elephants. The mission of the IEF is to support and operate elephant conservation and education programs in managed facilities and in the wild, with emphasis on management, protection and scientific research.
