About

The Animal Ball is a celebration of the natural world, raising millions for vital habitat conservation projects in Asia and helping preserve the world’s greatest masterpieces from extinction. 

Presented by Elephant Family and Tintra Foundation,in association with Xerjoff the famous masked Animal Ball returns to London this year and aims to raise vital funds for conservation programmes in South Asia.

Our work

Since its inception Elephant Family has funded over 200 projects across India, Thailand, Myanmar, Cambodia, Sumatra and Borneo. These projects have reconnected forest fragments, restored migratory routes, stamped out illegal trades and found ways for humans and wildlife to coexist together. 

As the largest, most populated and fastest-developing continent on Earth, Asia is a region where many animal species face extinction due to conflicts with humans. As human populations expand and natural habitats shrink, people and animals are increasingly coming into conflict over living space and food. The rapid development of land for use by humans all over Asia poses a serious threat to many animal species. 

There is an urgent need to enhance local people’s tolerance of wildlife by minimising the negative impacts animals have on their lives and, in parallel, minimising the negative impacts humans have on these magnificent and endangered species.

“As human populations expand and natural habitats shrink, people and animals are increasingly coming into conflict over living space and food. We are in a race against time to ensure some of the most majestic creatures on our planet and their habitats do not disappear forever. Raising vital funds for conservation work on the ground through events like the Animal Ball is just one example of positive action to change this and we look forward to what will be a spectacular event this summer.” Animal Ball co-chair Ruth Ganesh
“We are honoured to be partnering with Elephant Family on the Animal Ball, but even more so to be working together to empower the communities that Elephant Family is supporting to protect Asian wildlife and its habitat. It is clear our charitable values unite through the protection of an endangered species and in helping wider members of society to understand and learn from the true value they offer to our world.” Richard Shearer, Board Member of the Tintra Foundation
