The Tourism Authority of Thailand is looking for volunteers to help care for and manage the responsible preservation of these endangered Asian Elephants!
Elephants have played an important part in Thailand’s history and today the Thai elephant (chang Thai,) remains as an enduring symbol of Thailand. In bygone eras they were used in warfare, and as a beast of burden in the logging industry. In 1900, the number of elephants in Thailand was estimated to be around 100,000, but just over a century later, that figure had been dramatically reduced to around 3,000 – 4,000 making the Asian Elephant officially an endangered species.
Thailand is unique in many ways, from its unique culture through to the amazing diverse geography. Population growth, development and tourism are all contributing to the increasing impact on the environment and wildlife in Thailand.
This is an exciting 2-weeks opportunity for you to make a real difference to one of the worlds most amazing animals, while taking time to experience Amazing Thailand. Chosen applications will receive airfares to and from Thailand, two weeks accommodation and travel expenses.
