Where is a good place to volunteer with elephants in Asia?
We are not able to place volunteers on any of our projects in Asia, as we instead prefer to invest in our local project partners and give opportunities to local people to help their country’s elephants. However, there are a number sanctuaries that care for captive elephants and offer opportunities for volunteers, which you can find out about from searching online. While a small number are definitely improving the welfare of captive Asian elephants, the welfare status of elephants in many, sadly remains inadequate. If you are thinking of applying to volunteer on any captive elephant project do research it carefully first.
