What is Room to Roam?
IFAW’s Room to Roam is a major collaborative initiative to secure and connect habitats, creating safe passages for elephants and other wildlife to travel freely through their home ranges in East and southern Africa. The positive outcomes of this far-reaching initiative will be greater biodiversity, natural resilience to climate change, and a future where animals and people can coexist and thrive.
Help save African elephants and preserve their habitats
African elephants are in trouble. Between poaching, climate change, and habitat fragmentation, this gentle and intelligent species has died out in massive numbers. Help ensure its survival into the future.
Why Room to Roam?
For decades, wildlife conservation efforts have relied on often costly and unsustainable human interventions. Room to Roam offers a better solution, a visionary approach to African conservation that includes humans as part of the solution.
Where are we implementing Room to Roam?
Room to Roam aims to secure and connect 12 critical landscapes, each home to at least 10,000 elephants. In this initial stage of introducing the Room to Roam vision, IFAW is already working in several areas strategically positioned for cross-regional connectivity from East to southern Africa.
