No one can fail to be enchanted by elephants; they’re one of nature’s most majestic creatures. When travelling to places like Thailand, India and Africa, there are many opportunities to get up close and personal with elephants, though it’s important to see them in a happy and humane environment. Here are the five ways to have an ethical elephant experience abroad, so you can appreciate the beauty of these wonderful animals, knowing their wellbeing is paramount.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

1) Know what to look out for<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Elephants are wild creatures and should be seen as such. Ones that have been born into captivity have telltale signs of mistreatment. Does the elephant look well fed? Are its footpads in a good condition? Is it in a clean environment? Does it have company? Is it able to move around freely? Be observant of its surroundings and make sure the elephant is healthy and contented.<\/p>\n

2) Only visit them at a responsible centre<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Make sure you visit elephants at a place you know has their welfare at heart, whether it’s a conservation centre, sanctuary or national park.<\/p>\n

In Thailand, Friends of the Asian Elephant is the world’s first elephant hospital that tends to sick or weak creatures that would otherwise not survive. Visiting a place like this supports the conservation of this captivating species.<\/p>\n

3) Sign up for Wildlife SOS to find out how you can help<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Wildlife SOS<\/a> is an India-based non-profit foundation that protects and conserves wildlife in distress. They have two elephant centres to prevent trafficking and rehabilitate them from tourist attractions. Signing up to their newsletter will help you stay connected and inform you how you can help save India’s elephants.<\/p>\n

4) Watch, don’t ride<\/strong><\/h2>\n

It may seem like a fun, authentic wildlife experience when travelling, but do not ride elephants. Contrary to popular belief, elephants are not built to carry the weight of humans. Make sure you only support elephant foundations where their wellbeing is of paramount importance, rather than supporting those that have captured or bred elephants in captivity.<\/p>\n

Seeing elephants in the wild, whilst on safari, is a much more fulfilling experience and does not interfere with the elephants’ wellbeing. You can do this on safari in Africa<\/a> or as an optional experience when in Sri Lanka.<\/p>\n

5) Sponsor or volunteer<\/strong><\/h2>\n

If you’d like to get involved with elephant conservation, sponsor an elephant or better still, volunteer at a centre or sanctuary. Visit the WWF<\/a> or Wildlife SOS<\/a> to find out more about how you can do this.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n
