Through educating volunteers about local cultures and sending them into the field with professional staff, valuable cross-cultural exchanges occur between villagers and visitors. Medicine, vaccinations, food supplies, toys, blankets, and health information are among the many services provided to communities in need. All Jumbo Express events are documented with a written report summarizing these activities and recording information gathered in the field. As data regarding both the wild and domestic elephants at each site is collected, these reports provide crucial research from regions often inaccessible to academia. By providing medical aid to small communities while promoting conservation, Jumbo Express hopes to ensure that elephant populations and the cultures surrounding them will survive for generations to come.
