@AMAZlNGNATURE Snow leopards are so elusive that scientists call them “ghosts of the mountains”
That startled reaction shows how incredibly sensitive their survival instincts are even a tiny camera click can trigger an instant defensive response in the wild.

A billionaire bought a logging company in the Amazon rainforest just to shut it down.

Swedish-British billionaire Johan Eliasch has taken a bold, hands-on approach to fighting climate change, shifting from business leadership to direct environmental action.

In 2005, he acquired a logging company in Brazil, gaining control of approximately 400,000 acres (1,600 km²) of Amazon rainforest, which he immediately dedicated to preservation by halting all logging operations. This decisive move transformed a potential deforestation site into a protected carbon sink, safeguarding biodiversity on a vast scale.

Eliasch's efforts extend far beyond this landmark purchase. He founded the Rainforest Trust, which has helped protect millions of acres worldwide, and co-founded Cool Earth in 2006—a charity that empowers indigenous communities to conserve endangered rainforests.

His influence reaches policy and sports: he advised the UK government on deforestation (authoring the influential Eliasch Review in 2008), and as president of the International Ski Federation (FIS) since 2021, he has driven sustainability initiatives, including committing to the Race to Zero campaign to halve winter sports emissions by 2030.

Eliasch exemplifies a rising movement among ultra-wealthy individuals who deploy private resources for immediate, impactful climate solutions—bypassing conventional channels to deliver tangible protection for the planet's vital ecosystems.

“Twenty-five years ago, a story broke in Chiang Mai, Thailand about a Buffalo who ran for her life from a slaughterhouse. Covered in blood and with a deep wound around her neck, she bolted down the motorway, terrified and desperate. Local radio stations warned the public to stay alert—calling her “a mad Buffalo,” with some reporters even labeling her a “crazy ghost Buffalo,” claiming she was crashing into cars as she fled.

We rushed to the scene and found her drenched in blood, a bullet having grazed her forehead—thankfully, it hadn’t pierced her skull. We fought to save her life, refusing to send her back to the slaughterhouse, even as angry voices demanded compensation for their damaged cars and called for her to be killed.

With help from kind-hearted people, we rescued her.

The very next morning, in her new home, she gave birth to a baby boy. We named her Mae Sroy, after the scar around her neck, and her son Chokdee, meaning “Lucky.”

Since then, Mae Sroy and her son have lived peacefully among the Buffalo herd at Save Elephant Foundation.

Now very old—Buffaloes typically live around 26–27 years—Mae Sroy can no longer walk with the herd. Her son has grown up to become the leader, while Mae Sroy has moved closer to our shelter for more attentive care. She now eats only finely ground, soft food, as her teeth have worn down with age.

Then came the recent flood. Though her shelter was on higher ground, a sudden flash flood swept over the barriers, destroying everything—including Mae Sroy’s home. She was gone.

We searched everywhere, fearing the worst.

Our hearts were heavy, believing our beloved old buffalo could not have survived the raging waters. But on the third morning, a miracle happened:

We found her—lying in the mud where her shelter once stood. She had come home. When she saw us, she called out, and we cried with joy. I ran to her, and she answered with soft, happy grunts, full of life and relief. Mae Sroy had survived once again.

She truly is a Buffalo with nine lives.

This is the story of one life we saved. At our sanctuary, every animal has a name, a story, and a soul. They are not just Buffaloes or Elephants—they are living beings with meaning and worth.

Mae Sroy once ran from death to protect the life growing inside her. And now, once again, she has run from death to protect her own. She is a true survivor, and we will care for Grandma Mae Sroy with all our hearts for the rest of her days” ~ Lek Chailert. 🙏

An extraordinary story from Ithumba Head Keeper Benjamin🔊

Several years ago, this bull appeared and calmly walked into a stockade. Such behaviour is highly unusual for a wild elephant — so Benjamin and the team went to investigate: They found he had been struck in the ankle by an arrow.

Once he saw his message for help had been received, the bull walked back out of the stockade and waited. We mobilised the SWT/KWS Tsavo Vet Unit, who treated his injury. Joint wounds can have lethal implications, so this intervention very likely saved his life.

Despite being wild from birth and wounded by human hands, he understood we offered a place of sanctuary in the landscape - likely communicated to him by our ex-orphans and other elephants we have treated over the years.

The bull has returned from time to time ever since — as he did at the weekend — just checking in and saying hello to those who came to his aid.

[jackantonoff @jackantonoff]

i would like to tell you directly from me that i did in fact use earplugs the other night. they were blue ‘hearos’ brand and im mortified to admit that i’ve been using them for a long time as well as buying them in bulk. i would also like to be honest and get ahead of that fact-
