Urgent! Please help me keep baby Sunshine and her mom together. Sunshine is just three years old and has already been taught circus tricks. Her mother(37) has been used as a breeding elephant their whole life.

We're in a race against the clock. We have just four days to come up with the funds, or they will be sold to another buyer.

The good news is we have an amazing place for these two. At Following Giants, they will have over 50 acres to roam with other rescued elephants. They will get to spend the rest of their life making friends, getting fat, and happy. These two will finally get to be a free elephants! Please help keep baby sunshine with her mother!

Please help me rescue Pimpa. This poor elephant has been stuck in the tourist riding camps for roughly 35 years. Found her chained by the neck. Then, later that day, her feet were bound together. This is no life. Let's right this wrong! Let there be one more free elephant in our world.

The good news is we have an amazing place for her. At Following Giants, she will have over 50 acres to roam with other rescued elephants. She will get to spend the rest of her life making friends, getting fat, and happy. She will finally get to be a free elephant! Please help support Pimpa's freedom!

Please help Planting Peace rescue Tiny (AKA Thong) and replace him with a tractor.

This male elephant has been forced to log trees from sunrise to sunset for roughly 55 years. It's a sad existence, but with your help, Planting Peace can buy his freedom. All funds will go toward replacing Thong with a Tractor.

The good news is that Atlanta-based company The Original Poop Bags is matching the first 5K donated. Can't thank them enough for that.

Once we secure the funds to buy the tractor, Thong will live out the rest of his days with Following Giants. An amazing org on Krabi Island in Southern Thailand. There, he will have just over 80 acres to roam. And never to be put in a logging hardness again. Please donate to secure Tiny's freedom.

Help me rescue Thong Kham from the chains. She has been working in the same tourist riding camp for 20 years, and before that, she worked in a logging camp. She has spent her whole 45 years on this earth enslaved. The good news is we have an amazing place for her. Boon Lott Elephant Sanctuary- Bles has over 500 acres where she can roam free with other rescued elephants. She will get to spend the rest of her life chain-free. She will finally get to be a free elephant! Let's get her home to Bles - Aaron/Planting Peace

( A special thanks to Farzad Milani for reaching out and helping get this rescue started. We would not be here if not for you.)

It's my birthday. And I want nothing more than to see Silk free from the chains. This sweet little elephant has been working the riding camps for 35 years. Her whole life, she has only known living in a chain. Her so-called caretaker was carrying a bullhook the whole time that I spent with her. Just no need for that.

The good news is we have an amazing place for her. At Following Giants, she will have over 50 acres to roam with other rescued elephants. She will get to spend the rest of her life free from abuse. She will finally get to be a free elephant! Please help support Silk's freedom!

Help rescue Patty,

This gorgeous girl has been in chains for 41 years. In the first part of her life, she was forced to give rides to tourists on her back. Now she has been sold into a logging camp where she is forced to pull heavy logs all day. To make things worse, she's blind in her right eye.

The good news is that we have a great place for Patty to live out the rest of her days at Following Giants. They're one of the best rescues in all of Asia. She will love it there. There, she will never have to pull another tree again. She gets to be a happy/free elephant.

Thank you for helping me free Patty.

Urgent! We just secured the funds to rescue Gaew! Now, let’s help rescue her friend Nam Chok. They’ve been standing next to each other for over 10 years. We don’t want to leave her behind. She’s been in chains for roughly 40 years. She’s also forced to give rides all day. We have a great place for her at Boon Lott Elephant Sanctuary-Bles. There she will have over 500 acres to call home. She will never be put in chains again. Most importantly… she will be with her friend Gaew! Feel free to reach out to Bles or Planting Peace if you have questions. -Aaron

Please help me rescue Gaew. This poor elephant has been stuck in the tourist riding camps for roughly 37 years. Her owner just died. So, her family is going to sell her to another zoo or riding camp. Wherever she goes, it won't be good.

The good news is we have an amazing place for her. At Boon Lott Elephant Sanctuary Bles, she will have over 500 acres to roam with other rescued elephants. She will get to spend the rest of her life making friends, getting fat, and happy. She will finally get to be a free elephant! Please help support Gaew's freedom!

Help rescue Ploy and Pwong (Double Rescue)

Urgent: Ploy, a 50-year-old elephant, is starving to death. Without medical intervention, we could lose her. She has been working in the tourist riding camps and as a roadside feeding elephant for too long. She is simply starving to death.

She has been chained up next to another elephant named Pwong(42 years old) for 20 years. So, we hate the idea of just rescuing Ploy without also rescuing her friend. Not only is Pwong deserving to have her chains broken, but we will feel separated from them both, which could put them both into a depression since they have spent most of their life chained next to each other.

The good news is we have an amazing place we can bring them both. At Boon Lott Elephant Sanctuary-Bless, they will enjoy roaming just over 500 acres. Not only will they be chain-free for the first time in their lives, but Ploy can also receive the much-needed medical care she needs. Without this medical intervention, we fear she will die. -

We're in a race against the clock!

Please help me rescue Metta. As you can see in the picture, she's starving to death. Slowly wasting away, dying from starvation.

Not 10 minutes after meeting her to start working on securing her freedom, I learned that a bad place had put a down payment on her to buy her. We told her owner to give us 24 hours to raise the money to secure her freedom. That we would take her to Bles. A sanctuary where she can live out the rest of her days roaming 500 acres chain-free with other elephant friends.

Metta is a true emergency case. Without medical intervention, she will die from starvation. Let's change that. Let's get her to Bles.

Her name translates to Kindness, but the world has been anything but...Let's change that. - Aaron/Planting Peace

We're in a race against the clock!

Please help me rescue baby Ming and her mother Mee from being separated.

Ming is just a baby. Her owner wants to sell her to a buyer in China. We are not sure why she would be trafficked to China, but we do know it won't be for a good reason. Most likely for a roadside zoo. The mother would be sold to a logging camp where she had recently worked.

The good news is that we have an amazing place where we can keep mother and child together forever. At Save Elephant Foundation Laos, they can live out the rest of their days in peace. And most importantly... together. Please donate if you can! Thank you! - Aaron/Planting Peace

(Planting Peace "Awake Inc" is partnering with Lek, Save Elephant Foundation, Elephant Nature Park, The Original Poop Bags, Paskow Family Foundation, The Elephant Initiative, and the Marshall Family on this rescue.

A big thank you to Flo for letting me know about these two gorgeous elephants.)
