Dear Cynthia,


Dear Friends,

I just realized that this is the 75th issue of the ATE newsletter. We produced the first one in 2010 (you can find all the issues on our website on this link). I have enjoyed sharing news and views of our work in Amboseli over the years and I hope you have too. The best part for me has been telling the stories of individual elephants. Each elephant has a history, a personality, and each has friends and relatives who are important to them. None is ever forgotten.



In this issue of the newsletter, we suggest various ways you can support us so that we can keep telling the stories of these fascinating individuals.

You can choose one or all of the families to follow. For only $30 per year, you or whomever you are giving the gift to will receive regular updates including photos and videos, and news of what is going on in the family. To learn more about Elatia go to this link or contact us directly on: info@elephanttrust.org

Buy a Book

Cynthia Moss’s book, Impressions of Amboseli is a little gem with paintings by Sophie Walbeoffe and a text by Cynthia. It has been published by the Amboseli Trust for Elephants and so all proceeds go in full to supporting ATE’s elephant work. In the US the book, which sells for $35 including postage, is a perfect holiday gift! You can buy the book by emailing your name, mailing address, and number of copies to eswart@elephanttrust.org and then sending a check to ATE at 10 State Street, Newburyport, MA 01950–or by donating online. If ordering internationally the postage will be an extra $10. A few copies are available in Kenya for 3000/- at the ATE offices, No. 21, at Langata Link. It is best to phone ahead on (+254) 0714 781 699. 

Buy a Bronze Sculpture of One of

Amboseli’s Elephants

 

Doug Aja is a very fine sculptor of elephants. Somehow, he perfectly captures elephant postures, gestures and the overall proportions of elephants like no other. Much to our delight he has done bronze sculptures of several of Amboseli’s elephants. One of my favorites is of Tim, the famous huge Amboseli male, who sadly passed away of natural causes in 2020. Doug has also done a less expensive relief of Tim under Kilimanjaro. In the photo is the spectacular bronze Tim & Craig together. Any of these would be a very special Christmas present for someone. Contact Doug Aja on dougaja24@aol.com and tell him that you are responding to the ATE offer. See more photos of Tim and Doug’s other work his other work on Tim | Artists for Conservation.

Name an Elephant Calf

Every Christmas we offer a reduced price to name a calf. This offer will last until 15 January. There are presently many calves needing names and more coming up to naming time. This is an extraordinary gift to give to someone. Unlike our Elatia program where many people follow the same family, our naming program is a unique experience. The calf becomes yours alone or that of the designated receiver of the gift and the name given forms a part of the Amboseli dataset for all time. For more information, please write to us at: info@elephanttrust.org
