Borneo's Pygmy Elephants
small text
large text

The exotic island of Borneo is home to a species of elephant unlike any other on the planet.

Standing three feet shorter than their African cousins, these diminutive giants face extinction unless immediate action is taken to protect them.

This is the story of a remarkable relationship between a single man, Bert Dausip, and the extraordinary animals he has devoted himself to, an animal he will give everything to protect.

Tune in Sunday, July 22, at 7 p.m. ET/PT. Get a reminder!


Adopt a Pygmy Elephant

Give a gift that will help protect the future of pygmy elephants. A tax-deductible donation of $25, $50 or $100 will help fight habitat loss and other threats faced by this and other critically endangered animals. Find out how to adopt your pygmy elephant at the WWF Gift Center.
