Mae Jampaa

She was born around 1954 and her name means ‘Magnolia’. Mae Jampaa was rescued in December 2009.  She had the same owner for most of her life, working in the legal logging industry until 1989, and then illegally for a short time afterward. She then worked in trekking until coming to live at ENP. She is very protective of her much younger best friend, Mintra, especially since the passing of their other friend Mae Dta Keow in late August 2012. With Mintra giving birth to Yin Dee in August 2013, Jampaa has become a gran-nanny, along with Porn Sawan, Malai Tong and Jarunee.  Despite her blindness, this older gal is quite confident and tries to push other elephants away from her family group.
