ENP Rings in New Year with Power of One
New Year’s Day is a special day, filled with hope. We hope for a happy and healthy year ahead for the elephants and all other animals and humans in the care of Elephant Nature Park. We hope to continue to understand each other and work towards better communication and cooperation. We hope to become better people. We hope to inspire others to care more about animals, the environment and our mother Earth.
For the past eight years, ENP has been fortunate to start each year with a special volunteer group known as the “Power of One.” They arrive on January first, bringing with them their own special blend of peace, love, happiness, inspiration and HOPE. Their visit is a perfect start for the New Year!

Rumbles, roars and chirps erupted at around 12:15 a.m. on August 25th breaking the midnight silence, announcing the arrival of a new born calf. Stirred to consciousness by the vocalizations, bleary eyed ENP staff sprung from their beds. Grabbing flashlights and cameras, they rushed to the elephant shelters to catch a glimpse of the newest member of our herd.

Bike for Elephants Raises Big Baht for SEF and Elephant Nature Park
Bring the Elephant Home’s (BTEH) fourth annual Bike for Elephants event took place on January 19th and 20th and raised 141,000 THB. Nearly 30 participants cycled more than 100km to help raise funds to develop Elephant Nature Park land across the river. Eventually, Elephant Nature Park plans to open this land up for the elephants to roam free.
We are extremely grateful to BTEH’s Antoinette, Dtik and their team for their amazing efforts and continued dedication to the Asian elephant in Thailand. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!
