Welcome

Weighing up to six tonnes and standing 12 feet at the shoulder, elephants are long-lived, sentient, social and highly intelligent.  They live in matriarchal family groups, communicate with a huge vocabulary, mourn their dead, and move across vast areas.

 

Without space, their future is uncertain. These magnificent giants are being squeezed by human activity across their range. As the human footprint replaces the elephant footprint, the tracks and signs of thousands of other species will disappear too, some forever.

 

 

By securing space for the largest mammals on earth Space for Giants is building a future for a myriad of other species.  Based in north-central Kenya Space for Giants works on the ground to tackle habitat loss and human-elephant conflict and create conservation-compatible community support.

  • Our approach is driven by local people for local people, with the understanding that a future for wildlife can no longer be found in isolation from humans and the broader development challenges that poverty, environmental degradation and social unrest create. Today, a future for wildlife must be found within the human landscape.

  • Our mission is to secure a future for the largest mammals on earth forever, to be enjoyed by humanity forever, by ensuring that they have the space and security to live and move freely in the wild forever.
  • Our vision is to move beyond elephants and north-central Kenya to secure a future for other giants in strategic places across the earth.
