Rescued Elephants Bunma and Baby Chaba enjoy Mothers Day Cake

News from Elephant Nature Park

On August 12th, 2021 (which is Thai Mother’s day and World Elephant Day), the mother and baby enjoyed their first day of the new life at ENP. They are home now. They will no longer be chained. The baby is underweight, and the mother did not have enough milk for her due to the initial problems nursing as well as inadequate nutrition and stress contributed to her smaller stature. We started a program right away to assist a rapid recovery. And we will consider who best to be nanny to these new arrivals.

On behalf of these two beautiful lives, we would like to thank Noelle Weiss who helped to free them. Thanks to all those who have contributed toward their steadfast daily care.

Although NamThip is finally in her new sanctuary home, her health issues are quite pronounced.

Today, we also conducted an X-ray of her left hind leg, which seems to be problematic for her.
