At SES, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, we are dedicated to the health and longevity of animals. We license cutting-edge technology from military and independent sources to provide advanced health monitoring tools to governments, zoos, sanctuaries, and animal handlers. Partnering with people from concerned communities who love wildlife, like you, our deep commitment to animal well-being is reflected in our rich history of supporting local and global initiatives, from volunteering and rescue efforts to impactful donations. Upholding honesty and integrity, we honor those who share our mission.
Our Mission
We offer cutting-edge, custom-fit technology for endangered species, becoming the first to measure brain activity and emotional states in the wild. Like a smartwatch, we monitor health, migration, sleep, diet, and social interactions. This data empowers experts and wild-life handlers to take real-time, preventative health measures.
Why we do what we do
According to the World Wildlife Foundation, less than 100 years ago, over 10 million elephants roamed the continent of Africa. Today, fewer than half a million remain. Human interaction is the major cause of this dramatic decline.
Conflict with humans, land encroachment, deforestation, habitat loss, and poaching are the main culprits. In attempts to protect their crops and livelihoods, people have resorted to archaic and cruel methods, including spears, guns, machetes, electrocution, and dismemberment. As farms encroach on national park boundaries, interactions between humans and elephants become more frequent. Elephants eat crops and trample everything in their path, destroying people’s livelihoods and exacerbating the conflict.
These environmental engineers, the elephants, are critically endangered and play a crucial role in their ecosystems. They need your help today.
