Introduction
Elephants have been deeply connected to Thai history and culture for centuries. However, in recent decades, they have faced significant challenges. Many were subjected to hard labor in the logging industry, exploited in tourism, or even abandoned without proper care. Elephant Nature Park (ENP) was founded as a sanctuary, providing a ‘forever home’ for elephants who have endured hardship, offering them a new life of peace and safety. This book was created to help readers learn about and understand the life stories of the rescued elephants at ENP. Each elephant has had a different past and a unique journey that led them to this sanctuary. Some were once circus performers, others suffered years of grueling labor, many were ridden by tourists, and endured years of abuse. Their stories not only provide insight into the lives of Thai elephants, both past and present, but also reflect the impact of humans on the elephant population. They highlight the importance of conservation and long-term care for these amazing creatures. We hope this book serves as a valuable resource for those interested in learning more about elephants and provides inspiration to support these magnificent animals who have persevered in the face of adversity.
