INVEST IN THE FUTURE OF ELEPHANTS

ELEPHANT AWARENESS BEGINS AT FRIENDS OF THE PRESERVE

Friends of The Preserve was created to support the educational goals of The Preserve. Friends of The Preserve is a non-profit 501 (c) (3) and collects donations to support the animal care, educational programs, and community outreach at The Preserve. The Elephant Experience is hosted by The Preserve and currently receives no funding from the Friends of The Preserve. To learn more about The Preserve, click here.

PRESERVATION

Elephant populations around the world are dwindling due to human encroachment. Asian elephants are especially vulnerable, with only about 35,000 left in the entire world. Elephants will likely go extinct in Vietnam within the next decade. These pillars of wisdom and strength need our help if they are to survive. Friends of The Preserve is committed to doing our part to help save elephants from extinction.

Your tax deductible donation to Friends of The Preserve, a non-profit 501 (c) (3), helps support elephants and their care into the future, as well as educational programs that benefit school children, people with mental and physical challenges, veterinary students, and other groups and organizations.

These elephants enjoy a life of luxury and love doing what they do. At Friends of The Preserve, we aim to assist with the care and feeding of these beautiful creatures so they may continue to live a happy, carefree life while advocating for their species in the wild.

THE ELEPHANTS

These remarkable Asian elephants are the heart of Friends of The Preserve. The dream for the Friends of The Preserve is to keep this family together by providing a home in our Texas Hill Country. The Preserve, the wonderful place these elephants call home, is where family, elephants and the people who provide their care and companionship live together in a safe, serene environment.
