The Tourism Authority of Thailand has launched the “Help Community, Help Elephant, Help Nation” initiative to help the kingdom’s elephants prosper while tourist travel is still restricted.
So far, the project helped more than 1,450 privately-own elephants nationwide and various private elephant welfare organisations are also involved in the initiative, including The Thai Elephant Alliance Association. Its efforts include the launch of a donation channel from which funds are used to buy food and medicine, as well as funding veterinarian team to check on the health of elephants who have returned to their homes.
