News from Elephant Nature Park

A grand welcome to three new girls to the sanctuary of our Park: an Old grand mother named Khun Yai (70+ years old) , Jenny 8 years old , and ThongAe 2 years old.

These elephants have just temporarily been moved to our home for safety issue reasons by Save Elephant Foundation. The owner leased them to a camp and now they want to take this elephant home.

All three need to rest and we offer them a home for as long as is required. At Elephant Nature Park, any one who needs help, we can share our room to them and then we can see again in the future if the owner will allow these elephants to stay longer term. From today we will do our best for them.

Although NamThip is finally in her new sanctuary home, her health issues are quite pronounced. Our veterinary team promptly conducted further detailed health checks on her, including additional blood tests, stool sampling, and urine checks. Today, we also conducted an X-ray of her left hind leg, which seems to be problematic for her.
