The Elephant Crisis Fund (ECF) has a continent-wide knowledge of the unique threats to African elephants and a vast network of collaborators worldwide. The ECF supports the best ideas and most urgent actions by trusted conservation organizations working to safeguard the future of elephants. The primary goal of ECF is to end the ivory crisis and secure a future for elephants. In 2020, ECF and AWF launched a new partnership to set up a new detection dog/handler unit at Bole Airport in Ethiopia, as a crucial element of AWF’s work in Ethiopia, including building law enforcement capacity to tackle the illegal wildlife trade in Ethiopia directly.
