Elephants don’t belong in captivity, they belong in
the
wild. However
when an elephant becomes a part of a
peoples culture and belief system
it causes just as
many problems to remove it
from said culture. A
released elephant will have little
fear of people and will
start to
raid crops endangering its life as people retaliate
with guns and
traps. We don’t support the capture of
wild elephants and the
Phnong
don’t support the
breeding of
elephants and so we work in Mondulkiri to
support the needs of the domesticated elephants. Our
aims are
simple;
better working conditions, fewer
working
hours, better healthcare and
welfare for the
Elephants owned by tribal Phnong people of
Mondulkiri.
