News from Elephant Nature Park

Ponsawan is a former logging elephant and unfortunate landmine survivor who was rescued by Save Elephant Foundation in August 2011 from illegal logging. She is now 29 years old.

She truly loves her life of freedom in the sanctuary of Elephant Nature Park, and does not hesitate to express that. When the river is particularly high, she will be even more excited, and loves to run into the forest, always calling her friends to join with her.
