A New Conservation Mindset
Elephant Charge UK was founded in 2023 to extend the impact of the Elephant Charge event in Zambia—a fundraising initiative that has supported critical conservation efforts for years. Recognizing the importance of involving international stakeholders, ECUK was established to connect donors and supporters from the UK and beyond, with these vital conservation efforts in Zambia.
By raising funds and awareness, we help amplify the impact of local conservation projects, ensuring that Zambia’s wildlife and natural habitats are preserved for generations to come.
