Rescue Elephants in Thailand

We have started a new project in Thailand which aims to rescue working elephants.

A group of mahouts and elephant owners want to return to their community in the mountains of northern Thailand and bring their elephants back to live in the forest. These rescued elephants would otherwise be forced to find work performing in circus shows, giving rides to tourists, or begging on city streets

GVI has funded the rescue of a group of 5 elephants and their entry into the forest reintroduction program. With more funds we wil be able to increase the security of our small herd, and also to rescue more elephants and bring them into the program.

Mahouts and owners join our education and alternative livelihoods program along with their elephants to ensure they have a sustainable alternative form of work.
