Living With Elephant Foundation (LWE) is a Botswana registered non-profit organization, dedicated to creating harmonious relationships between people and elephants. LWE was founded in 1999 by Douglas & Sandi Groves and their three adopted elephants, Jabu, Thembi & Morula. Doug and Sandi have striven to find ways in which their foster elephants can act as ambassadors for their wild counterparts. Today Living With Elephants is a thriving local organization with Educational projects and Research projects which benefit both elephants and people sharing range.
