The African elephant and the Asian elephant have different issues.
African elephants are hunted and killed only for their tusks, only to be sold to China or other buyers - this leaves the baby, if there is one staying with the mother only to starve or be attack by other wildlife. (babies have no tusks)
Asian elephants are born or captured and put into work camps - logging - street performing - side shows. They are beaten into submission so they can be controlled by the owners or workers. They work them until they die - in many cases this can be 30-60 years of hard labor.
10+ years ago there were no Elephant Sanctuaries, they were riding camps and logging camps. Now is a different time and we have been to many sanctuaries and have witnessed an amazing change.
Elephants are wild animals and should be left alone to be wild elephants.

Save Elephant Foundation is a Thai non–profit organization dedicated to providing 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. Elephants depend on us.
As one of Africa’s oldest wildlife charities and a leading conservation organisation, the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust (SWT) embraces all measures that complement the conservation, preservation and protection of wildlife. My goal is to sponsor as many programs from orphan rescue to Anti-Poaching units. Together we can make it happen.
As an unpaid custodian of this project we will donate all profit from "The Elephant Rescue" branded products to support efforts led by dswt.org and saveelephant.org.
We are not here for the money, you can donate directly to them if you prefer, but donate, please do something.

Our amazing friends and family get to deal with our passion for elephants. When we travel to Thailand to visit the Asian elephant Sanctuaries they see that the struggle is real.
For over 20 years we have sponsored elephant orphans and we have worked to share the stories. We can never look the other way when animals are being harmed.
With the success of this new project and raising awareness and funds to support our goals, The Elephant Rescue will work to become a nonprofit 501(c)(3) corporation. You can help us make a difference.
