Mae Kam was the first elephant to join the retirement program and in the beggining her owner signed a 1 year contract, Since then her owner has allowed her the freedom to live at BEES until now. The owner is refusing to resign the contract and has given us a month to find the funds needed to secure her freedom, if we don't she will be returned to the trekking camps. In Thailand trekking elephants are worth the price of a very fancy vehicle. Mae Kam will be beaten badly in the camps, she has spent the last 3 years in the forest. On the 1st of June we should be celebrating Mae Kam's 3 years retirement at BEES instead we could be grieving the loss of Mae Kam back to the torturous camps.

We can't let that happen! Please Help us secure our beautiful Mae Kam's freedom!!
