What began as an initiative to save and facilitate the adaptation of African pachyderms to a way of life in harmony with surrounding species, including humanity, has evolved into a larger mission, encompassing the protection of all endangered species on the African continent. The Foundation is thus committed to safeguarding African biodiversity as a whole.  <\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"GutVideo \"><div class=\"GutContainer-full\"><div class=\"GutVideo-inner __video_parent\"><picture class=\"GutVideo-pic __video_open\"><source srcset=\"https:\/\/albanu.mc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Sans-titre-3-1-768x433.png\" media=\"(max-width: 768px)\"><source srcset=\"https:\/\/albanu.mc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Sans-titre-3-1-992x559.png\" media=\"(max-width: 992px)\"><source srcset=\"https:\/\/albanu.mc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Sans-titre-3-1.png\" media=\"(min-width: 993px)\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"GutVideo-img\" src=\"https:\/\/albanu.mc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Sans-titre-3-1.png\" alt=\"Albanu Wildlife Foundation \/ Engagement\" \/><\/picture><video class=\"GutVideo-in __video_in\" controls><source src=\"https:\/\/albanu.mc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/AWF-FR.mp4\" type=\"video\/mp4\"><\/video><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"GutInformations GutContainer-full \"><div class=\"GutInformations-container\"><div class=\"GutInformations-list\"><div class=\"GutInformations-wrap\"><span class=\"GutInformations-textLarge\">415 000<\/span><p class=\"GutInformations-title\">African elephant population<\/p><p class=\"GutInformations-text\">About 90 percent of Africa&#8217;s elephants have been wiped out in the last century \u2014 largely due to the ivory trade \u2014 leaving about 415,000 wild elephants alive today.<\/p><\/div><div class=\"GutInformations-wrap\"><picture class=\"GutInformations-picture\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/albanu.mc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Sans-titre-15.jpg\" alt=\"Sans-titre-15\" \/><\/picture><p class=\"GutInformations-title\">Gentle Giants<\/p><p class=\"GutInformations-text\">The African elephant is the largest land mammal in the world \u2013 with males averaging up to 3m tall and weighing up to 6 tons.<\/p><\/div><div class=\"GutInformations-wrap\"><span class=\"GutInformations-textLarge\">\u2243 30,000<\/span><p class=\"GutInformations-title\">Poaching<\/p><p class=\"GutInformations-text\">Every year, it is estimated that between 20,000 and 30,000 elephants are poached.
