Busy summer of progress, events and vital care for elephants: This Quarter’s STEF Highlights

This quarter STEF has had a very busy summer – welcoming our Founding Trustee Jake to the UK for strategy and Board meetings, visiting Pairi Daiza in Belgium to learn from best practice in elephant care, hosting our first in-person World Elephant Day event at Blackpool Zoo, caring for hospital patients and running 64 mobile clinic visits in Thailand, upgrading our volunteer accommodation, and preparing for our Big Give Christmas campaign to fund vital medical supplies for elephants.

We’re pleased to share the latest news and reflections from STEF. In this update, our Chair looks back at recent milestones, highlights some of the challenges our veterinary team is tackling, and explains how your support can help us reach our Big Give target and continue providing life-saving care for working elephants.
