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.
