It’s been two years since we began this journey to protect both elephants and humans. 🐘
Sudden encounters between wild elephants and people have tragically cost many lives on both sides. As a solution to this growing issue, this idea was born during our high school years in 2023. At first, we were only able to launch a limited Android version through the Google Play Store due to budget constraints. Creating an iOS version for the Apple App Store was too costly at the time.
However, after nearly a year of careful development and thanks to the support of generous contributors, we have now completed the iOS version as well. We are excited to announce that Elephant Journey will officially launch for both Android and iOS in early July!
Here’s what the app does:
Notifies users within a 5km radius when an elephant is reported nearby.
Allows anyone to report elephant sightings to help alert their communities.
Enables reports on elephant deaths, wildlife crimes, human fatalities, and injured elephants in need of care.
Our goal is to raise public awareness and make this national service accessible to all. This Facebook page itself was created to help bring Elephant Journey to the people.
Let’s walk this journey together—towards safety, coexistence, and conservation.
