One particularly large,
magnificent 25-year-old bull elephant is enslaved in a Cambodian logging
camp. Without aid, he is doomed to a life of of pulling stumps and
dragging massive logs. He either works or is chained to a tree. In his
current environment, he has absolutely no hope of freedom.
The Cambodia
Wildlife Sanctuary has successfully convinced his owners to release him
to them, and has also secured a rare permit from the government to allow
his transport within the country. With your help, we hope to save this
remarkable animal. He could be the first breeding bull released onto
sanctuary land, perhaps to start an entirely new herd of wild, free
elephants in Cambodia.
But there are
challenges unique to caring for bull elephants. They are intelligent and
beautiful, but also powerful, with immense size and strength and an
instinctive desire to physically compete with other males.
