Other Ethical Elephant Projects in Chiang Mai

Elephant Nature Park encourages elephant owners and tourism operators to adopt ethical practices that prioritize the well-being of the elephants in their care. To further promote responsible elephant tourism, Asian Elephant Projects was established to support a small group of Saddle Off projects across Thailand, dedicated to providing a better life for elephants.

 

The Saddle Off model improves the lives of Asian elephants by ending activities such as riding and performing in shows, while still providing owners with a sustainable source of income through responsible tourism. At these projects, elephants are free to wander, forage, and socialize in peaceful, natural surroundings, while visitors enjoy a fascinating experience observing these gentle giants in an authentic and respectful way.

Join us in supporting positive change for these magnificent animals by visiting the Saddle Off projects through Asian Elephant Projects.
