It’s 16 January, 2013, and we begin our journey with two rescued elephants from the logging industry. The sun hasn’t even begun to light the sky, and our Save Elephant Foundation team is awake and ready to bring these two girls back to the forest, where they belong.

We progress to the Mekong River, where our two trucks and team are greeted by locals and travelers, all stopping to take photos and learn more about what we are doing.
