Help keep elephants and communities safe<\/h2>

Whilst everyone is in lockdown because of Covid-19, dedicated volunteer community rangers in Thailand are still risking their lives in order to reduce conflicts between wild elephants and local communities. Please give them your support.<\/p>

On-call 24\/7 the brave teams work tirelessly to keep both local villagers and our beloved elephants safe. Day and night, week after week, month after month, community rangers respond to reports of elephant sightings near the villages to discourage elephants from wandering further into harm\u2019s way.<\/p>

Desperate need for equipment and supplies<\/h4>

The travel and movement restrictions imposed by lockdown have led to an increase in poaching and illegal logging. Especially now, our wildlife and their habitat are under threat. Rangers play a critical role in protecting wild elephants and in keeping everyone safe. The increase in conflicts and lack of support through ecotourism has resulted in a desperate need for equipment and supplies.<\/p>
