“Without the right to liberty, elephants cannot have their interests defended in court, and they will continue to be exploited by humans for profit while denied any semblance of a reasonable life.”
Dear John,
Dr. Keith Lindsay is a wildlife ecologist and conservation biologist who’s studied elephant behavior and ecology for over 45 years. Today, as part of our end-of-year giving campaign, he shares what he felt the first time he saw an elephant in a zoo, the intense physical and emotional harms of depriving elephants of their autonomy in zoos, and why he’s joined the NhRP in calling for elephants’ right to liberty.

Thanks to a generous matching gift made by a fellow NhRP supporter, all donations to the NhRP will be tripled now through Sunday. Please help us make the most of this amazing giving opportunity by donating today!
We extend our deepest gratitude to all the elephant cognition and behavior experts who’ve supported the NhRP’s fight for elephants’ right to liberty this year and to all our supporters who have helped raise awareness of the amazing capacities of elephants and how they suffer when deprived of their freedom. Thank you!
Courtney Fern
Director of Government Relations, the NhRP |
