Elephant Village Luang Prabang - A lifetime experience
Laos was known as the Land of a million elephants (Lane Xang), but the elephant in Laos is now a profoundly endangered species. Some 1,600 remain, of which an estimated 560 work in the forest industry, harvesting timber. The elephants face a bleak future of harsh work and abandonment. Former logging elephants will find themselves on the margin of an urban environment with no chance of finding adequate food or water, and no access to veterinary care.
The aim of Elephant Village is not only to rescue working elephants from the harsh, abusive environments in which they must make their living, but also gibe the elephants to roam freely in the jungle, group together in herds, mate and start new families
