Elephant Nature Park is an elephant rescue and rehabilitation center in the Chiang Mae province of Northern Thailand. They host a number of vibrant programs: you can visit, tour, volunteer, feed, and even sleep with the elephants! Founded by Lek Chailert, known as “The Elephant Whisperer,” ten years ago on just 250 acres, the Park now encompasses over a 1,000 acres and her humane approach has spread to nearby privately owned elephant “rides.” While Lek opened the Park as a sanctuary for distressed elephants from all over the world, the thriving herd now includes rescued dogs, cats, buffaloes, and many other animals.

From the website www.elephantnaturepark.org we read about the plight of the Asian elephant, (there are only 30,000 left in the world!) and learn how we can help. Volunteers and visitors contribute to the healing while learning about their lives past and present. Arrange a visit to all our projects in Thailand, Cambodia and Myanmar.
