In the early morning light we caught first glimpses of a new-jungle born elephant at our haven. It was a tiny male, healthy and hairy. We had rented his mother from an elephant camp when we learned of her pregnancy. Lek saw her baby moving inside her stomach as she climbed the mountain carrying trekking tourists on her back. She asked the mahout for the chance to rest the expectant mother but was told that these elephants are still under agreement with the camp and she will have to work until the end of the contact. Lek was deeply troubled with this and tried to find the way out to help this poor pregnant elephant.
