The Giants Club was founded by the elephant protection charity Space for Giants, its patron Evgeny Lebedev, and President Ali Bongo Ondimba of Gabon.

Its objective is to combat the poaching crisis by bringing together leaders of African elephant-range states, heads of major businesses operating in Africa, and elephant-protection experts, to provide the political will, financial resources and technical capacity that are so urgently required to save Africa’s remaining elephant populations. Working in support of the Elephant Protection Initiative (EPI) and the African Elephant Action Plan (AEAP), they aim to effectively protect at least 40,000 elephants – 10% of the continental total – by 2020.
