The Human Elephant Language Learning Organization(HELLO) was established in January 2025. We work with a range of partners across Africa and Asia on decoding the Elephant language, dialects and building the elephant language vocabulary.
WHAT WE DO
We aim to decode the different languages used by the elephants in their home ranges. For this, in March 2025, a network of field stations were set up across Sri Lanka, India, Borneo, Sumatra, Kenya and Gabon. Our research has also been to deepen our understanding of the linguistic abilities, the depth of language and the variations across geographies these elephants have. Some of the questions that were considered: how different is the language between sub-species, and what are the possible cross communications? Can decoding this language help us provide cues to reduce the negative interactions between humans and elephants?
HOW WE DO IT
Our work has led us to question our lived reality and uncover another dimension of sentience. Based on our work, we are now charting back our paths to live in coexistence and flourish in a multi-species context. From 2030 onwards, we have been conducting training and capacity building programs for people to learn the elephant language.
We are a team of dreamers, builders, and disruptors united by a shared passion for advancing coexistence
