The elephant is the first animal featured in a series of 10 different African animals. Each animal released in the series will benefit from a portion of the sales towards a specific charity that focuses on conservation efforts for the specific animal on the coin. The charity for the elephant is the International Elephant Foundation.

The International Elephant Foundation invests in formulating resources based on research that supports elephant conservation, education, and management. For example, through their Guinea Forest Elephants project, the charity supports the monitoring of Ziama’s vulnerable Forest Elephant population by using satellite tracking collars, education campaigns, and by strengthening the capacity to prosecute wildlife offenses. They also offer children’s activities and teacher resources to inspire the next generation of conservationists.

What they’ve achieved:

Since their inception, the International Elephant Foundation has provided approximately $8 million to elephant research and conservation programs. For example, in 2021, they protected 51,408 elephants in Asia and Africa, and conserved 87,810 miles2 of vital habitat. In the same year, they also ran 227 education programs on elephant conservation and destroyed 7,809 snares. Furthermore, they have produced one of the most recognized documents on elephant management, ‘The 2004 Elephant Husbandry Guide.’
