Amadeu Antonio Stiftung

Encourage, advise, promote. The Amadeu Antonio Stiftung (Amadeu Antonio Foundation) has been working for equality and democracy for 25 years. Against racism, anti-Semitism and other forms of discrimination and violence. For a world without Nazis and right-wing extremists of all kinds. What does that mean in concrete terms? We provide quick and unbureaucratic financial support to those affected by anti-Semitic, racist and right-wing violence - for example with the Cura victims' fund or the SHEROES Fund. We support projects throughout Germany that promote a democratic civil society. Especially in rural areas. We research and monitor right-wing extremism, anti-Semitism and racism. This expertise is incorporated into studies, brochures and concrete demands. We ensure that these issues remain in the public eye: through press work, social media or articles on Belltower News, the journalistic platform of the Amadeu Antonio Foundation. But also through concrete educational work and (further) training for multipliers. Through its operational activities, the Foundation often carries out pioneering work and puts issues on the agenda on a permanent basis.

Elephant Haven - European Elephant Sanctuary (EHEES)

EHEES, Elephant Haven, European elephant sanctuary, is a sanctuary/retirement home for elephants from European zoos and circuses, which answers a legal need and requests from private owners. EHEES is a care center which offers the elephants a place for life and where their natural needs are respected and their diet is appropriate. It enables them to be re-socialized and rehabilitated in a protected environment. This is the true story of Gandhi and Delhi, Asian elephants, our two first retired residents in EHEES, the only elephant sanctuary in Europe. Indeed, in recent years, it has become both appropriate and necessary to create elephant placement centers in Europe. Private elephant owners, animal parks, zoos and other organizations may need a place for their elephant(s) to live. Almost all European countries ban wild animals from circuses, including France, where EHEES is situated. Bringing them back to their country of origin is not always possible. There was no place for housing the elephants in Europe. Retired elephants from zoos and circuses, like Gandhi and Delhi, our 2 first residents, have now a place for life. They, and the future other residents of Elephant Haven, need a lot of attention. Elephant Haven is expanding to be able to offer more elephants a place for life. Informative programmes about elephants and their behavior, in captivity and in the wild, will be organized to have a better understanding of elephants, as well as local fauna and flora. All this encourages a re-connection with nature and with all her creatures, to raise awareness and respect for the environment.
