## What is Save an Elephant?

You’re running for your life, but the poachers are coming closer and closer. They will soon catch up with you, saw your tusk off and leave you to die. But you will not let that happen. 

In Save an Elephant, you play as an elephant or a rhino, trying to escape from poachers. They’re coming from all directions, and if you don’t manage to snap up some greens while fleeing, you will soon run out of energy.

Elephants are hunted and killed for their tusks, which sell for enormous amounts on the black market. If the poaching continues at this rate, there might not be any wild elephants left in a few years. 


Save an Elephant is developed by Hello There for the Perfect World Foundation, who fights to increase awareness of the elephants’ situation and raise funds for preservation efforts. All in-app purchases made in the game will support the Perfect World Foundation’s important mission.

The game features an exclusive mix by AVICII, one of the Perfect World Foundation’s ambassadors. 

Play the game, share the information with your friends and help the Perfect World Foundation to save our elephants before it’s too late!

### 5/5 — Save the elephants!

*2022-01-02*

The gameplay was also much more fun than I expected. I like pushing away the cars.

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2021-09-24*

This game is awesome.

### 2/5 — AAAAAAAAA

*2021-07-06*

ok I love how this game supports elephants, but this game is hella hard. I could NEVER beat one of the levels and me and my cousin had been raging at that level.
I’m also rather confused on how the elephants are going to be saved??

### 5/5 — Unbelievable

*2020-06-07*

Fantastic idea. Beautiful, poetic, insightful, and rage inducing look at the poaching industry through the guise of an endless runner type game. 

I’m even tempted to donate now. Five stars for sure.

### 5/5 — This game is not for adults (17+) it’s for kids (4+)

*2018-06-23*

This game is not for adults it’s more for kids and for school than some 17+ game

### 5/5 — Excellent work from developers

*2018-05-30*

What a great idea of making this game, this will spread awareness all over around the earth.

### 5/5 — Spectacular

*2016-09-28*

This app is amazing! Not only does it teach you about elephants and their hardships, but you also get to be challenged and have fun. This app is definitely a must have if you want to learn about and support elephants (and even rhinos!).

### 5/5 — Very educational

*2016-09-28*

Helps inform kids about elephants and rhinos being hunt down by poachers. Very well made and entertaining.

### 5/5 — This is amazing

*2016-09-25*

I'm so proud of this app. If you believe that the world can be a safe place for animals or if you believe in having some control over these massive problems - download this app.

We need to educate children on these issues in the classroom. Apps like this can help spread awareness and hopefully encourage people to pay attention, donate and demand justice.

I believe in a better world for animals, do you?
