Gorgeous Mae Mah continues to thrive in the wild forests of Laos. She's the true matriarch of her herd - a central, calming and stabilising presence.

She has a close bond with Mae Noy, who she’s always spotted with in the wild. Trunk touches, close proximity and quiet companionship with Mae Noy show the deep and beautiful natural social bonds of elephants. 💞

You can catch up on Mae Mah's latest movements, and see how she's thriving in the forest here: https://bit.ly/3RQKOsE

✨ Magical moments in the forest ✨

Check out this incredible elephant herd, wild and free in the rainforests of the Leuser Ecosystem in Sumatra.

Seeing an elephant calf with the herd is EVERYTHING. Calves prove that your support is making a difference - keeping elephants safe, and their forest homes standing.

These elephants are thriving. And it's all thanks to you! 🐘🫶

Look who it is! It's Dor Khoun Meuang! 👋

You can see him here with some of his herd - Mae Bounmy, Mae Noy and Mae Mah.

Dor Khnoun Meuang is becoming more independent by the day. Lately, he's been exploring so far from his herd, that he's almost reached the Thai border!

This shift is normal and exciting for a young male, as they begin to move away from their herd and establish their own ranges. It's extra wonderful to see this for Dor Khoun Meuang, as it proves that the support of his amazing adopters is giving him the wild and wonderful life he truly deserves.

Thank you!

Elephant habitat is burning.

Poachers are deliberately setting fires to clear land for illegal hunting. And with Godzilla El Niño threatening the worst fire season in a decade, our rangers must be ready to fight back.

Will you help us build a fire truck to put the fires out, before more habitat is lost?

If you give today, your gift will DOUBLE - helping get this fire truck into the field twice as fast. And speed matters. Every day without a fire truck is another day a blaze can take hold, spread, and destroy precious elephant habitat.

Floods. Landslides. Wildfires. Earth is sending us urgent signals - and they all point to the same truth: when we lose our rainforests, we lose everything.

But are we listening?

Our rainforests are more than trees. They're climate shields. Wildlife sanctuaries. Home to communities who have lived in balance with nature for generations.

This , we're standing with rainforests, the wildlife that depends on them, and the communities who have protected them for generations.

We have amazing news about Anna's herd! 🐘

Deep in the forests of Bukit Tigapuluh in Sumatra, Anna's herd of 10-15 elephants has joined Ginting's herd...forming a super-herd of 30-40 elephants!

Watching all these beautiful elephants move together through the forest is breathtaking. It shows the incredible bonds elephants form with one another.
