In the past many owners were forced to beg for food with their elephants on the streets of major cities and a few elephants can still be seen on the streets of Bangkok today.

Estimates vary and experts disagree but there are roughly 6000 elephant now in Thailand.

This elephant was involved in a trajic accident
– just one of the patients at the hospital at the Thai Elephant Conservation Center that our work helps.

Fortunately there are now many tourists that now visit Thailand and seeing elephants is near the top of their list of things to do. There are many tourist camps providing necessary jobs to elephants and their keepers.

Our paper contributes to securing the future of the Thai elephants. We are based at the Thai Elephant Conservation Center in Lampang which is in the north of the country.

Our paper provides another necessary income generator that helps to feed and care for these majestic creatures.

The simplicity of the idea is remarkable. We collect the dung of elephants, we turn it into paper and then products. We then sell the paper and return profits to feeding and caring for the elephants.

We call it The circle of conservation

In addition we provide many jobs to relatives of elephant keepers and low-income families. Help us help the elephants help themselves!
