The Great Elephant Migration is a global fundraising adventure to amplify Indigenous knowledge and inspire the human race, to share space.

This collaboration between Indigenous artisans, contemporary artists and cultural institutions is raising millions of dollars to support human–wildlife coexistence projects and protect migratory animals making spectacular journeys across land, rivers, skies and oceans.

Long before satellites, microphones and artificial intelligence, Indigenous peoples knew that the living world was speaking. 

Today science is beginning to echo that understanding. Researchers have discovered that elephants recognize one another with unique vocal calls that function much like names. They teach their young, remember landscapes across generations, make decisions together and sustain lifelong friendships. 

As science and traditional knowledge increasingly converge, they point towards the same truth: we do not share the Earth with objects, but with other lives. 

To see elephants as people is not to make them human. It is to recognize that they have always been someone, not something

Elephant families are Matriarchal with each herd led by an older, experienced female. Family groups include mothers, sisters, daughters and their babies.

The Great Elephant Migration is powered by an influential network of environmentalists, writers, philanthropists and creatives, known as The Matriarchy.
