The Great Elephant Census
Paul G. Allen wanted to create a future where African elephants are safe from extinction. The Great Elephant Census was born - the largest, pan-Africa aerial survey since the 1970s, involving 38 countries and 50 scientists, covering more than 600,000km. Completed in 2016, it now forms an essential baseline for future African elephant conservation efforts.
Devon served as internal lead for the PR team overseeing communications strategy.
