Story

We have a giant-sized mission to announce! We are hoping to bring this beautiful lady to retire with us....permanently! 



Meet Boonchu! A 40-something year old elephant that has spent her life working in the laborious world of both the logging and riding industries in Thailand. She is currently, in desperate need of immediate help from all animal lovers far and wide. Bearing the burden of her previous life in chains, abused by with bullhooks and back-breaking work, Boonchu shows the scars from days past. And we want to ensure those days are LONG BEHIND HER. 

With weak eyes, missing teeth that do not allow her to chew or digest food properly, foot issues and other physical ailments. The current owner is unable to care for her so If we cannot do this in time, she will be sold to another camp.

We must act fast!


Together we CAN rewrite the Boonchu's story! 

We need to raise 27,000 USD or 42,000 AUD (which is 1 million Thai baht) for her permanent freedom. We only have 4 weeks to do this! Otherwise, she will be sold and gone forever. 

We need to bring her to our project, where she will never work another day.

Once she joins us, there will be no more relentless work or harassment. She will regain her freedom of choice and will spend her days foraging in the forests of northern Thailand, doing only what elephants should do.
