The son of a biologist, Scott Struthers grew up with a love for animals. At 15 years old, he took his first trip to Africa and discovered the magic of the continent and its incredible wildlife. Years later, Scott took his daughter when she turned 15 and noticed a substantial difference in the African landscape and its inhabitants.
In 2013, Scott decided to focus time, funds and energy on conserving African elephants. After attending the Air Shepherd Summit in 2014, he began conceptualizing Elephant Cooperation.
In 2016, Scott traveled to Africa to conduct in-depth research. He explored South Africa, Kenya, and Tanzania, where he noticed the rapid depletion of the African elephant. His heart hurt to see these iconic beings heading towards extinction. As a result, Elephant Cooperation was officially founded with the intent of his grandchildren having the same opportunity of seeing wild elephants and other fantastic animals while helping communities in need.
