This , we’re shining a light on one of the hidden realities facing India’s elephants: the exploitation of elephants used for begging.
Behind the seemingly harmless sight of an elephant on the streets or outside a tourist attraction can be a life of suffering, exploitation and fear.

Wildlife SOS is campaigning to end elephant begging and help create a future where elephants are no longer exploited for entertainment or income.
But what can we do from here in the UK?
That’s where Tour for Tusks comes in.
This October, our co-founders Kartick Satyanarayan and Geeta Seshamani are coming to the UK for Tour for Tusks, to share the stories behind the rescues, explain the realities of elephant begging, and show us what we can do to help.
📍 London – 1 Oct
📍 Anglesey – 3 Oct
📍 Manchester – 5 Oct
📍 Edinburgh – 7 Oct
📍 Newcastle – 9 Oct
📍 Hellingly & Brighton – 11 Oct
📍 Birmingham – 13 Oct

Come along, hear the stories and find out how you can make a difference from here in the UK. 🐘
🎟️ Early Bird tickets available until 23 August.

Instruments of pain, fear and submission.

Behind every ride and every begging elephant is a story most people never see. The beatings. The wounds. The fear. The years of being forced to obey.

We all need to recognise the cruelty, we cannot choose not to support it.

This , help us break the cycle of exploitation.

Say no to elephant begging. Say no to elephant rides. Sign our petitions and stand with India’s elephants.

Every elephant deserves to walk free.

In the wild, an elephant’s feet carry them through soft forest paths. But for elephants forced into captivity, those same feet can carry years of pain, from begging, riding and exploitation.

We’ve seen Lakshmi, Pari and Moti. We’ve seen the suffering. We’ve also seen the difference care can make.

But we don’t want to keep rescuing elephants from the same cycle. We want to end it.

This , help us put an end to elephant begging and riding. Sign the petition and stand with India’s elephants.

BANI’S STORY IS COMING TO THE BIG SCREEN!

You’ve watched Bani grow up with us. You’ve rooted for her, celebrated her milestones and watched this little calf who once fought simply to survive become the elephant so many of us have come to love.

But there’s so much of her story you’ve never seen.

This , we have a major announcement to make.

Bani’s extraordinary journey, from the devastating train accident that separated her from her mother to the incredible fight that followed, is now a feature film.

Introducing BANI: A Feature Documentary

One tiny elephant. One extraordinary fight. One story that deserves to be seen.

Here’s the first trailer!

It broke our hearts when we saw Lakshmi for the first time.

Her story is a reminder of what elephants can be forced to endure when they are made to beg on the streets. But it doesn’t have to be this way.

This , help us say NO to elephant begging. Your voice can help push for a future where elephants are not exploited for human needs.

Sign the petition and help us put an end to this cruel practice: https://action.wildlifesos.org/page/188607/petition/1

THEY WERE NEVER MEANT TO CARRY US. THEY WERE NEVER MEANT TO BEG.

Have you ever looked at an elephant being made to beg or carry tourists and wondered what their life looks like when the crowd goes home?

We have.

We’ve seen the scars left behind by years of exploitation. Feet damaged from standing on hard roads. Bodies carrying the effects of years of forced labour. And elephants who have known chains and control for far too long.

This , let’s make sure their future is different from their past.

We need your help to put an end to elephant begging and riding practices. Sign our petitions to stand with India’s elephants.

When Pari arrived at Wildlife SOS, every step was painful.

Years of standing on hard surfaces, walking on hot pavement, and living in chains had left her feet badly damaged.

Her transformation has been remarkable.

While Pari will always need ongoing foot care, months of specialised treatment have made every step more comfortable.

Sadly, Pari is not alone.

Foot disease is one of the most common health problems facing captive elephants. That is why, in honour of , Wildlife SOS is working to provide expert foot care for rescued elephants in our care, while our Haathi SEWA mobile elephant care team travels across India to reach captive elephants who desperately need help.

Your support can help elephants like Pari take a more comfortable step towards the life they deserve. Go to give.wildlifesos.org to support our work

Years of exploitation, forced labour, begging and walking on unforgiving surfaces can leave lasting damage on elephants.

For many elephants in our care, healing begins with the basics. Regular foot care is an essential part of rehabilitation, helping address the damage caused by years of neglect and giving them the chance to move towards the life they deserve.

But the best way to protect elephants is to prevent this suffering in the first place.

Ahead of , we are making a plea to everyone to stand up for these gentle giants. Stand with us and help create a future where elephants can live free from begging and exploitation: https://action.wildlifesos.org/page/162957/petition/1?ea.tracking.id=Website_Button

When healthcare goes where elephants are.

Elephant care doesn’t end with rescue. Rehabilitation, regular health checks and medical treatment are all part of ensuring their long-term well-being.

Launched in 2025, Haathi Sewa is India’s first dedicated mobile elephant clinic, taking specialised veterinary care directly to elephants across India.
The latest outreach took the Wildlife SOS team to Sakrebyle Elephant Camp in Shivamogga, Karnataka, where, in collaboration with the Karnataka Forest Department.

The team addressed a range of health concerns, including traumatic injuries, chronic abscesses, eye disorders, wounds, cracked and overgrown toenails, foot complications and geriatric ailments.

The outreach also included training for mahouts and elephant caregivers on preventive healthcare, nutrition, hygiene, early detection of illnesses and compassionate elephant management.

This , we’re recognising the many aspects of elephant care that go beyond rescue, from timely medical treatment to supporting the caregivers who look after them every day.
