Save Elephant Foundation

In reference to my podcast project which I presented to you last week I would like to tell you a few words about Save Elephant Foundation from Thailand.

Save Elephant Foundation is a non–profit organization. It's main aim is to provide care and assistance to Thailand’s captive elephant population through a multifaceted approach involving local community outreach, rescue and rehabilitation programs, and educational ecotourism operations. They endeavour also, among other things, to expand self-sufficient eco-tourism operations that benefit local communities and ecosystems, to create practical, positive support based on elephant training and rehabilitation programs, to establish an international volunteer community or to more fully integrate with the global conservation community to facilitate cross-cultural networking.

As you can see, Save Elephant Foundation has a lot of lofty goals. I think it's really admirable that people who work there devote their time and efforts to help elephants and to make our world a better place.

There are a lot of ways to support this organization. You can simply donate money to current necessities, you can become a sponsor of particular animal, or even spend some time as a visitor or a volunteer in Elephant Nature Park (that could be incredible experience!).

On the website you can follow news concerning activity of the organization and life of its charges. The foundation has also its channel on Youtube (I recommend to you films about babies elephant - they are sooo cute! :D).

I would like to show you one of the films published by foundation and which I mentionned during my speech. It's about founder of Save Elephant Foundation, Sangduen “Lek” Chailert , who is singing a lullaby to an elephant - its reaction is pretty amazing ;)
