Local farmers who have raised Water Buffalo and other animals for profit, sometimes find it difficult to support their animals for economic or other reasons.

Former Trekking Elephant expresses her new life of freedom in the Mae Taeng River

Maliwan’s former life was one of neglect and abuse. Even her trunk had been slashed with a knife. She never knew kindness or even companionship. Since being rescued by Save Elephant Foundation and welcomed into the sanctuary of Elephant Nature Park, her life has totally changed. Maliwan loves the freedom of the park and especially the river! In the rainy season, the swollen Mae Taeng river is a source of great joy for Maliwan and she plays with reckless abandon while her friends patiently await for her on the pebbled shore.

Flashback Friday – Save Elephant Foundation Rescue 7 Elephants – The Journey

This Flashback Friday post shows a video of how 7 elephants were rescued by Save Elephant Foundation and transported to their new homes within the sanctuary of Elephant Nature Park. It was a big day for them, 7 elephants, ostensibly friends, rescued by Save Elephant Foundation, and relocated to a new home where they would never have to work again. It took some time, but it became clear that each would choose their own way and find the person whom they thought to be akin. Time and space and self-discovery prepare the way for living happily in the sanctuary of Elephant Nature Park.
