Previously known as ‘Tiger Trail Elephant Camp’ and ‘Elephant Park Project’ and ‘Elephant XL’, Elephant Village was first located opposite the Lao Spirit Resort on the Nam Khan River. We are currently located next to the village Ban Xieng Lom. Elephant Village focuses on three objectives:1. “Saving Elephants” 2. “Community Support”3. “Nature Preservation”We take elephants out of the very dangerous logging industry and provide them with an alternative way of earning their income. We try to help the elephants which desperately need help the most. For example, older elephants and elephants which have injuries due to accidents. We currently have 12 elephants in our care. They include an 80 year old female (who has since died of old age), a 63 year old female who is nearly blind in both eyes and a 38 year old female who is completely blind in the right eye. Our most recently acquired elephant is a disabled female who was injured when she stepped on a ‘UXO’ (Un-Exploded Ordinance) some years ago. « less
