H-ELP - Human Elephant Learning Programs

Actively improving the welfare of working-elephants & mahouts through the teaching of new, humane & evidence based training methods.

Feeding an elephant is a mammoth task. Feeding a camp of elephants is even harder. Our latest article explains how a whole community is needed to feed the elephants at our partnered sanctuaries.

With the recent drought and COVID-19 pandemic impacting supply and funding, Mahouts are struggling to provide fresh food and water to their elephants.

Did you know that an elephant's skull has several sinuses? Because of this, their head is not as heavy as it may appear.

Elephants learn to identify plants safe to eat by watching their friends and elders. Here is Mae Noi reaching over to sniff a branch taken down by Boonsri. Elephants do not share food and some can be aggressive but seems like Boonsri does not mind a little sniff.

Elephants are efficient seed dispersers. Seeds that pass out in the elephant's dung are highly viable and sprout easily
