A gift to this project will give an Elephant in Asia a better life today. We are working with a number of carefully selected local communities to fight the illegal act of forcing elephants to work in the tourism trade, whilst working to guard the elephants that are still in the wild by monitoring and funding protected areas. Many Elephants are forced to work in cities to bring in an income and this project aims to change this to a new strategy to promote ethical and responsible tourism in Asia
