Elephant Charity
As a charity, we depend on the generosity of our supporters
Why Elephants in Thailand?
“Logging was banned in Thailand in 1989 leaving 2,000 mahouts out of work and unable to generate the income required to take care of their elephants. The rise of commercial elephant tourism quickly followed and, with no regulations in place, the industry grew quickly and remains unchecked, with wealthy elephant camp owners profiting from exploiting elephants and mahouts.”
