EARS Home

To our supporters and elephant enthusiasts: EARS has recently been combined with its parent non-profit corporation, Monterey Zoological Society, also a Calif. 501(c)(3)non-profit corporation. This marriage enabled us to minimize redundancy and channel more valuable funding towards the elephants. We invite you to visit our www.montereyzoo.org website for more information on our efforts however we will maintain this site also as reminder to all of where we came from and where we will always continue to move towards...


	Do ya visit our site often? Be sure to refresh the pages every now and then to assure that you're getting the latest information.



		Elephants of Africa Rescue Society is dedicated to supporting projects aimed at securing a safe habitat for wild, African animals and dedicated to providing a sanctuary for their captive cousins with a special focus on elephants.


	We believe that by educating the public about the problems facing both captive and wild animals we can increase public awareness and support.


	This fund-raising gala is unlike any other of its kind with fine food, wine, spirits, a heartwarming zoo presentation, live and silent auctions, music and dancing, surrounded by the many “WILD THINGS” joining us that evening.

Ticket information will follow soon ~ if you typically receive an invitation to this event, you should be receiving one in the near future or you can call to reserve your seat(s) for sure at 831.455.1901.
