The original Elephant Ivory Project included a donation page during its active period. Surviving backlinks still point to /donate/, so this page is retained as part of the historical archive rather than allowed to disappear into a broken link.
The original campaign
The Elephant Ivory Project combined expedition reporting with work connected to elephant DNA reference sampling in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Contemporary coverage shows that the project sought public support around that field effort and the broader conservation questions surrounding ivory trafficking and elephant forensics.
The original donation copy and campaign details are no longer available to us in a form we can reproduce reliably. Rather than inventing them, this page preserves the historical purpose of the URL and directs readers to the surviving project record.
No active fundraising
ElephantIvoryProject.org is now an independent archival and educational rebuild. It is not the original project organisation and does not represent or collect funds for the original participants, researchers or institutions.

Why keep an old donation page?
Historical projects often leave behind links long after the fundraising campaign itself has ended. Preserving the original URL keeps those references meaningful without creating the impression that an old campaign is still active.
