I've been to Elephant Nature Park near Chiang Mai and it is a haven, not just for over 100 elephants, but also thousands of rescued dogs, cats, and water buffalo. ENP has also helped the local farmers by buying their crops to feed the elephants, and provides work for the local villagers so they don't have to move to the cities to find work. Please support them so they can continue fulfilling their important mission.

I am so happy she was able to convince her neighbor into turning his business into a sanctuary.

Support Elephant Nature Park by visiting them and their various supported projects or sponsor an elephant or elephant baby to the save elephant foundation or Gentle Giant projects.

The elephants are not only free from "performing " or/and working them to death on the streets, forests or side shows and grueling riding on them, but just as important or more so, they are not being starved, forced to perform or work with broken legs, hit repeatedly, separated from their own kind, isolated on chains, and abused savagely. Ms Lek has saved them from a cruelty that is mind boggling in its scope and acceptance in thialand. Ms Lek is a lady and a hero to us in the States and in the world. The people who donate are Co heros and the best of this world's generation. We stand with Ms Lek and the elephants, dogs/cats and Buffalo she also rescues.

Thank you so much for showing this...people need to know the plight of the elephant. Elephant Nature Park is a true sanctuary and is an amazing place to volunteer. Please support them and don't visit elephant shows or ride them

A big thank you to the dedicated people involved in caring for these precious beings! It's so sad elephants are no longer safe in the natural wild. Poaching is terrorism on wildlife and needs to be addressed and dealt with just as harshly as the one we are fighting today. Sharing this animation movie teaser - a heartwarming and creative incentive to spread awareness towards this hideous crime impacting a core species - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bMhmhMmcyb6Vj2w.html

Unfortunately, many of these circus/riding/street begging owners are back to the old trick after the pandemic. Still way to work to save these poor abused privately owned elephants.
