Debbie Ethell has followed a group of more than 400 elephants since she was eight years old. As a conservation research scientist she realized how important it was to share what she learned with others.
In 2015 she founded The KOTA Foundation for Elephants as a way to teach people in the United States all of the extraordinary things she learned about elephants as a way to support positive outcomes for their survival.
Debbie has worked as a consultant for several court cases including the Nonhuman Rights Project in their on-going court battle to give "personhood" rights to elephants; one of the most significant elephant court cases in American history.
Her blogs have been featured in both national and international publications including Mother Nature Network, Africa Geographic, and Grapevine as well as several scientific research publications.
