As you may have gathered, I work for wildlife conservation. For years and years I worked exclusively with Red Pandas in Nepal. But after my recent trip to the Elephant Nature Park in northern Thailand, I knew I had to lend my skills to all animals in Nepal.
The treatment of elephants for the tourist trade is horrific, a process that needs to be re thought. I will refrain from the details, but it is tourture, no other words to describe it... Anyway, I have the opportunity to venture into Nepals chitwan national park, as a part of a field trip, where I will be able to gain first hand information about captive elephants in Nepal. On the whole I'm excited, but nervous of what I may find.
Wish me luck! I hope I get in :)
Peace love & wildlife :)
