HERD USA, Inc.

Mission Statement

HERD – USA is an IRS 501c3 Not for Profit Organization that supports the efforts of the HERD elephant orphanage based in South Africa. The South African team rescues and rehabilitates elephants that are in need due to natural reasons or human conflict. HERD (Hoedspruit Elephant Rehabilitation and Development) is South Africa’s first elephant orphanage, and was independently established in 2021, after 24 years of successfully caring for a herd of rescued elephants under the umbrella of another wildlife rescue non-profit organization. HERD was developed as a response to the growing number of orphaned elephants in need, and HERD – USA was incorporated to raise funds and awareness in the United States, for the plight of African Elephants, and support fully the rescue and rehabilitation efforts of the South African team on the frontlines.
