CoViD-19: Support the retired Elephants of Angkor
Donation protected
After 3 years of planning and hard work, we have finally been able to retire the 14 elephants of Angkor Wat. The Kulen Elephant Forest opened its doors to the public on the 16th of December 2019.
By shifting the focus of animal-based tourism to conservation and retiring the world’s most famous riding elephants, we take great pride in having been able to make such a statement. They are now in a safe haven, living a beautiful life at the Kulen Elephant Forest.
But we are more than a safe home for the Elephants, we are an opportunity for the community; to improve education, conserve the natural world and bring everyone together in trying to preserve the remaining elephants of Cambodia.
Today, this vision is under threat. The outbreak of the CoViD-19 has negatively impacted Cambodia’s tourism in such a way that we are now fearful. Fearful that we now may struggle to sustain ourselves alone. Our self-sustaining model relied on tourism to finance our basic operations, and being so new, we did not have the time to save enough for this kind of contingency.
We need YOUR HELP to care for them.
Especially our oldest elephants who need more food, supplements and medical supplies.
$1000 = cost to care for 1 elephant per month
$20 = daily food cost for 1 elephant
$10 = daily medical cost for 1 elephant.
