Love For Elephant
Some
of the elephants we have rescued to Elephant Nature Park, have only known the control by humans using force and cruel instruments and harsh words. Sometimes they find it very hard to mix with other elephants and in order to help them, we want to love them with intense
freedom and a ection.
When elephants settle into our care, they build trust and love and this is achieved by humans showing them love, respect and care in a di erent way to their past lives in riding camps by mahouts, who have known no better than to treat them harshly and with force.
At Elephant Nature Park, we help elephants recover and rehabilitate with love. With no riding, helping elephants with love is a concept we want to share with elephant mahouts around the world to encourage the understanding of living more peacefully with other creatures on this planet.
Another good program now begins at the camp opposite of our Park called the Elephant Care program. This program is run under our supervision and consultation. e project is being run by the local villager there, to take the elephant out of riding. e visitor will spend all day long to walk with the elephant, to forage, swim and play in the river and roll in the mud. If you want to spend all day long with the elephant, to help rehab them and bring them to roam free, please come to support this good program.
We need volunteers every day to participate with this exciting program of learning to care for elephants and therefor show the world that elephants can respond better to love than they can to bull hooks. We believe caring people can learn to communicate with elephants within 1 day.
