Lek Chailert and the

Elephant Nature Park

The Elephant Nature Park is a rescue center that has taken care of sick elephants in northern
Thailand since 1996. The park is in Chiang Mai Province, and the person who runs it is an
extraordinary woman, Sangduen “Lek” Chailert.
Lek spent a lot of time with her grandfather as a child. He belonged to a tribe that lived in the
forest. The time that Lek spent with him was very important to her. It helped her understand
the wonders of nature. She created the Elephant Nature Park with her husband, Adam, and the
organization has received international recognition. 1
The elephants that Lek rescues come from all over Thailand. She often takes them from
logging camps when they are no longer useful. Others are sick, and some are elephants which
2
people have treated badly. Lek’s work also provides medical care for villagers who need it.
The idea Lek and her husband had was to provide a safe place for elephants to live in peace.
In fact, they are doing much, much more than that.

1 recognition: praise and thanks for doing something good
2 logging camp: a place where workers cut down trees and use elephants to move them

Elephants that are born
at the Elephant Nature
Park will never have to
work.
