Elephants in Captivity
Elephants destined for the tourist industry experience great physical and mental trauma. Isolation, starving, hitting and beating are just some of the methods used to initially break their spirits and get them to behave and perform.”
There are some 3,500 captive elephants in India and the majority of them are used for elephant rides by Western tourists.

Education in action
In February 2015, the Director of Education, Fran, and the Chief Program Officer, Andrea, presented all of our lesson plans at a professional development day for the Langley school district front of K-12 teachers. At the same time, Tessa and our volunteer Leanne Fogarty tackled the North Vancouver school district. The teachers were all very eager to start using the lesson plans!
