We Are All Mammals
Report of Trustees to accompany Annual Report and Accounts for the period ending 31[st] December 2021
The Charity had a successful second year of operation.
The Standards for the Management and Welfare of Elephants in human care in Southern Africa were published in July 2021 (ISBN 978-1-80068-007-4). Dissemination of the Standards occupied much of the second part of 2021. Our Director distributed the Standards and visited relevant facilities in Zimbabwe and South Africa to promote interest and eventual uptake.
We took the first steps towards developing a facility inspection protocol. Our aim is to develop a process whereby facilities holding elephants can be assessed against the Standards with the aim of ensuring progressively improved elephant welfare. WAAM sponsored a local person to update records relating to elephants kept at Jafuta in Zimbabwe that would enable this facility to take part in a future test inspection.
Our educational mission continued with talks given at the Bradley Stoke Rotary Club in February 2021, the Golden Triangle Asian Elephant Foundation in Thailand in September 2021, and the 17[th] International Elephant Conservation and Research Symposium in November 2021.
Regular educational postings have been made via social media to encourage knowledge of mammal behaviour and emotions, success stories and connections between humans and other mammals, and inspiring action. Video footage to support a film project was taken and research work on elephant vocalisations (led by University of Vienna) and adaptation to night-time bomas (led by University of Nottingham) was supported.
The Charity produced its safeguarding policy, risk register and trustee conflict of interest procedures.
The trustees believe the charity return and accounts provide a true and fair record of our activities for the period.
