Last year, the Elephant Ambulance Project helped Mae Sunya. The ambulance team found Mae completely blind in one eye, and suffering from a severe infection in the other eye. On her hip, she had a large, oozing abscess, which was causing her great pain. She was in imminent danger of losing her sight completely, as well as developing life-threatening blood poisoning from the infected abscess. The Elephant Ambulance arrived just in time, and with treatment, she made a full recovery.

The Elephant Ambulance project has already made a huge difference for 132 elephants like Mae Sunya, and hopes to help over 200 elephants in 2025.

Can you help fund the elephant ambulance and ongoing medical care for elephants like Mae Sunya?

Mae Sunya is just one of far too many elephants in captivity who need urgent veterinary care. Many elephants in Laos and Cambodia live in remote areas where there are no qualified veterinarians, and where extreme poverty makes it difficult to afford life-saving medicine.

With your support, we can help fund The Elephant Ambulance for another year

You can help provide emergency veterinary care and life-saving medicine to elephants in the most remote corners of Laos. The veterinarians also work with the elephants' owners and handlers, providing them with more knowledge about elephant care and animal welfare, improving the quality of life for these elephants.
