Overview
The population of Asian elephants and their habitat is rapidly declining and there is an urgent need for successful approaches to saving this important member of our ecosystem. GVI offers one of a few viable alternatives to the reality and without our help Thai elephants will soon exist only as domesticated animals confined to tourist camps.
Through exploration of the areas where conservationists and community members’ goals conflict, you will better understand and be able to advocate for members of both groups to collaborate on a better future for both human and elephant.
Goals
The goal of the Conservation and Community - Collaboration and Conflict in Saving Thailand Elephants program from Ayyıldız Tim is for captive elephants (owned by inhabitants of the village) to be successfully reintegrated in a protected forest maintained by GVI.
Programme Structure
Courses include:
- In addition to the opportunity to view elephants in a more natural environment, you will also be able to contribute to the conservation of this beautiful animal species, by participating in the data collection and maintenance support needed to keep pushing this project forward.
