Our tree nursery in Kanchanaburi annually produces around 10,000 seedlings to restore the forest for the wild elephants of Salakpra Wildlife Sanctuary<\/a>. The elephants often visit the nursery and cause damage to the infrastructure, water pipes and seedlings. Some members of the local community, including the dedicated nursery manager, are now trained as beekeepers. Therefore, it is time to protect our tree nursery in the most sustainable way: by creating a beehive fence around the nursery.<\/p>

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>

The first support for the beehive fence comes from Walking Tree Travel. Their volunteers will join our team in Thailand from 25 to 27 June to start the construction. So far, we have installed four active hives. But we need 20 beehive boxes to circle the entire tree nursery.<\/p>

20 beehive boxes (50 euro per hive) to circle the entire tree nursery\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>
Donated (June 23, 2019): 1.000 euro.\u00a0Accomplished!
<\/em>The 20 beehives, plus an extra donation to buy beekeeping equipment, bee suits and tools for the management of the fence, were donated by Save the Elephants<\/a>! Thank you very much, Dr. Lucy King and colleagues at Save the Elephants!<\/p>

To complete the fence and make it effective, we are looking for more donors. Donate and reduce human-elephant conflicts, generate income for the community through the sales of honey and protect thousands of young trees that we will plant for elephants! We are in need of the following materials:<\/p>

3 camera traps for research<\/em><\/strong>
Three donors needed! Please sponsor a cameratrap for 250 euro. Please donate here<\/a>.<\/p>

500 trees to provide a natural food source for elephants and bees<\/strong>

We will start with the preparations of the fence during the Walking Tree event (June 25-27) but the complete fence with active beehives will be completed within three months. More than three years ago a beehive fence was made in Thailand for the first time. Successfully, 80% of elephants encountering a beehive fence turn around.<\/p>
