Our Mission
Elephants are sacred in the cultures of Asia - through film, social media, science and spiritual understanding, we serve as a channel to bridge modern concepts with old traditions. Our goal is to provide support for the protection of elephants and their wild habitats.
SavingGanesh.org provides a platform for this diverse group to apply their unique skill sets, and through collaborative spirit, we are empowered to improve the welfare of elephants by empowering the communities that live alongside of them with the awareness and tools to do so.
Our Approach
Integrating with locals - villagers, rangers, farmers and spiritual leaders is the way we approach our work. We collaborate with monks and nuns to produce karmic cleansings at the most sacred temples. We also bring healthcare services to locals that are most challenged in coexisting with elephants. Thru this, we establish quality relationships.
Similarly, we embed ourselves with government rangers and veterinarians. For over 20 years we have provided a platform for talented filmmakers, writers and scientists to join us as produced documentary films and social media for our quarter million followers on social media. Our average weekly reach on Facebook is over 20,000. When we have new videoblogs, we often reach 500,000/week. This is more than small market television channels! Policy makers see our videos and oftentimes will call upon us for suggestions on improvement of elephant management. View our campaigns, here.
