Adopt an elephant
To support the elephants in the Park, we have started a very direct support program: Adopt an elephant at the Elephant Nature Park! You are given the opportunity of becoming an adoptive parent for one of the elephants, and by this share in taking care of this elephant. With this you support the Park and ofcourse help your adoptive child.
The Elephant Nature Park is a non-profit sanctuary for thirty rescued elephants. Ranging in age from infants to old-timers, these previously abused and neglected creatures are able to live out the rest of their lives in peace and dignity on the park’s grounds.
Elephant Nature Park allows its rescued elephants to live the life of an elephant. No longer do they have to paint pictures with their trunks, play the drums, or perform demeaning circus tricks. They are not made to carry heavy benches on their backs, which can deform and even break an elephant’s spine. They are no longer forced into submission with cruel implements such as “the hook”, and they are not chained during the day.
At Elephant Nature Park, elephants are allowed to roam unfettered, eating and playing as much as they like along the way. They can wander down to the river for a bit of a splash or a roll in the mud whenever they need to cool down. They are free to choose their own family group, usually centering around one of the several baby elephants who live at the park. And they can have as much or as little human interaction as they choose.
There are far more traumatized elephants which deserve a place at the park to spend the rest of their life in relative freedom. But taking care of these elephants does cost a lot of money. Money which now is mainly brought in by parkvisitors. But with the expansion of the park more structural financial means are urgently needed. Cause more elephants doesn’t necessarily mean more visitors and thus more income.
You can help to bring in the needed extra money. As the adoptive parent you will be kept up to date with the development of your “baby”. You will receive:
The adoption package costs minimum 60 euro. Donate minimum 60 euro online through online donation and send a email with your address and preference for Sri Nuan or Douk Ngern to info@bring-the-elephant-home.nl
We hope Sri Nuan and Douk Ngern will have many adoption parents!
