Baby Asian elephant in captivity

 

When the pandemic shut down Thailand's tourism, 3500 captive elephants were shackled in chains and left to starve. Their keepers no longer able to afford to feed them.

But our friends at Save Elephant Foundation stepped in with an idea to save them -- help their owners transition from cruel circus camps to ethical elephant sanctuaries, supported by people around the world who want to foster an elephant.

It's working! At one business known for its circus show, 53 elephants now roam free, no longer forced to give rides and perform all day. But taking care of an elephant is expensive -- just imagine how much they eat every day! Plus vet care, security, and more. The foundation desperately needs funds to keep the project going.

Together, we can help give these elephants their freedom. Can you chip in to save these elephants and protect wildlife worldwide?

There are more captive, working Asian elephants in Thailand than anywhere else on the planet. For decades, they've been ridden and forced to perform for tourists, their legs cruelly chained to poles and trees to keep them imprisoned.

The misery these social animals are enduring is hard to imagine. What’s more, the tethering makes them vulnerable. Several elephants died when a storm caused trees to fall on them.

But from this crisis came an opportunity. Save Elephant Foundation is going from one cruel elephant camp to the next, getting the owners to commit to becoming ethical elephant sanctuaries in return for financial assistance from people across the globe willing to foster an elephant. The owners must adhere to strict rules to improve elephant welfare standards.

Already they’re seeing new elephant babies born, free of chains and abuse. The foundation wants to continue to expand, but can’t do it until they raise more funds.

Asian elephants are endangered -- we can't afford to lose hundreds or even thousands to cruel captivity. We can save them, but only if we act now. Will you chip in today?
