And the Chance to Revive Laos’ Wild Elephant Population
A BABY ELEPHANT IS BORN IN LAOS!
Thirty-two-year-old Mae Khampheng spent decades carrying heavy loads of tourists on her back under the burning sun by day, shackled in chains by night. Deprivation was all she knew.
Today — thanks to the Elephant Conservation Center’s Rescue, Rehabilitation & Re-wilding work — Mae Khampheng knows health, joy…and motherhood!She wanders the forest freely under the watchful eyes of her loving caregivers with her newborn baby girl by her side!
Support Her Here!
The birth of a tiny elephant in the quiet forests of Nam Pouy National Park in Laos on Christmas Day in 2020 was a powerful symbol of hope for Laos’ rapidly declining elephant population. Indeed, it was a gift to us all.
For the ECC staff, that moment on Christmas Day was an emotional celebration of 20 years of teamwork that has blended science, research, compassion, and struggle to create a ‘formula’ for success for the rescue, rehabilitation, and re-wilding of Laos’ captive elephants.
But all of this — including the future welfare of Mae Khampheng, her tiny baby, and 32 other elephants at the ECC— is currently at risk due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
The ECC normally relies on elephant-friendly tourism to support its award-winning elephant conservation, research, and welfare work. But with international travel impossible in 2020 and 2021, our visitor income has dropped 100%…to zero. In response, we have slashed our operational costs to the bare minimum.
We need your help! Elephants need your help.

Thank you for your kind support. Together, we will keep the hope of a forest filled with wild elephants alive!
