  • We Exist to Improve Elephant Welfare Worldwide

    On Facebook, we asked you to tell us what you’ve learned about elephants by following the work of Carol Buckley and EAI. Margaret Mueller gave this important response.

     


    We recently repaired a blown-out bridge at the creek crossing. This area will be preserved, conserved and left untouched, even by the elephants. The stunning hardwood bottoms.

    We exist to improve elephant welfare worldwide — and we couldn’t help these magnificent beings as well as we do without your continued support. Thank you.

     


    By sharing her life with Tarra, Carol gained profound insight into the emotional needs of elephants. She continues to utilize this knowledge when creating educational programs to improve elephant welfare standards. Read more about our founder here.

    UNCHAINED the documentary won the Animal Award at the Cinema Verde International Environmental Film Festival! The film was well received and was followed by Q&A by our Founder Carol Buckley, whose work in Asia was the subject of the film.

  • Thank You!


    We are so thankful for the support we have received from our community. The funding for the fence clearing was raised by the GreaterGood with a generous matching grant from Jeff and Janis Rosenthal. And the Nature Defense Foundation, under the direction of Sarah Shaw, funded the perimeter fence construction. We are on our way, in a big way!

     


    Shristi Singh Shrestha’s comment about why she is excited for the development of ERNA: Elephants deserve a home.

     


    The recent rains caused a bit of erosion at the creek crossing at ERNA, which we needed to repair. We will seed this area and cover with hay. In days the grasses will sprout and stabilise the soil.

    ThisĀ old house was found on the ERNA property. Would you participate in a volunteer day to salvage the tongue and grove wood siding?
