Trees for Elephants
The amounts of living space and food for elephants have shrunk in such a way that extinction looms. Around 1900 there were about one hundred thousand elephants in Thailand. The estimated 1,500 wild elephant remaining today, eat the crops, and get into conflict with the farmers. Domesticated elephant (probably about 2,000) are often taken by their owners into the cities to beg. At the Elephant Nature Park we too face the consequences of deforestation. Because there are not enough trees, the elephants cannot graze enough.
Every issue concerning elephants can be retraced to one problem: the enormous deforestation that has happened in Thailand. No trees, no elephants. The elephants at the Elephant Nature Park could use more trees. We will also start up project to provide wild elephants and street elephants with more living room and food. This is why Bring the Elephant Home is currently working on several reforestation projects. Here you can follow their progress. The goal is 100,000 trees for the elephants. For this we really need your help! Will you help us? Buy 10 trees for 10 euros here.
