Where
In 2008 over 100,000 trees for elephants have been planted at five locations in Thailand. During the rainy season of 2009 we have planted 44,000 trees. Furthermore we are taking care of the trees that were planted last year. To be able to plant so many trees is also a great incentive to do a lot more for the Thai elephants and to plant many more trees in the years to come. We can accomplish this thanks to the support of all our volunteers and donors! Please support Trees for Elephants.
Besides our four Thai partner organisations, many hundreds of Thai and international volunteers have helped planting the trees. By planting trees, the living environment and food situation of Thai elephants will be improved. Also a network of elephant protectors is created.
The trees are planted in several locations important for the protection of wild elephants:
At the Salakpra Wildlife Sanctuary and the Khao Yai National Park it is all about protecting wild elephants. At Khao Yai, for instance, a corridor of trees will connect two forests, to expand the habitat of the wild elephants.
At the Elephant Nature Park and the elephant island in the Isaan, it is about improving the situation of domesticated elephants. In the Isaan, Bring the Elephants Home is working together with The Population and Community Development Association (PDA). Families in two villages are helped to generate income and villagers are supported to plant trees for elephants on the elephant island. The villagers of Baan Pai Noi now owns the elephant Nok Noi, and the villagers of Baan Pai Yai became of Sri Prae.
