Happy 1st Birthday baby Chaba
Happy Birthday to our sweet little girl, we wish you a beautiful day with good health and happiness forever.
Baby Chaba is a female Asian elephant. She was born May 17, 2021 to Bun Ma. Baby Chaba was severely underweight and malnourished because her mother’s milk dried up due to lack of nutrition.
On August 8th, 2021 our founder, Lek Chailert was contacted by an elephant camp owner to help rescue a mother and baby, bringing them to live under the care of our organization. The camp owner has been unwell for almost one year, and during this time he have to leave the camp and his elephants under the care of the others. The owner has chosen to let this mother and baby go because he concerns about the baby’s health. They are a young mother and her first child. For that situation, the new mother have a difficulty when she lived alone without any support from the herd to take care her baby. The condition of the baby elephant was not so good, with a lower body weight than normal and her behavior is lethargic and abnormal.




Baby Chaba and Bun Ma started the journey to their freedom on 11th August 2021.






Only 1 week living at the park, baby Chaba was stronger and more playful.

After 2 weeks since they arrived the park, we took Bunma and Chaba for a short walk to relax the mother.
The little girl, Chaba is getting stronger and more playful after she live at the park for 1 month.


Kham Moon, Pyi Mai’s mother allows baby ChaBa to drink her milk.


Pyi Mai & Chaba love to play together for hours.

BunMa and baby ChaBa enjoy their life freely everyday at Elephant Nature Park.
