With Globalteer you can volunteer with Elephants at Ethical Sanctuaries<\/strong> in Thailand<\/strong> or Cambodia.<\/strong>\u00a0The sanctuaries are home to rescued Elephants<\/strong>\u00a0that come from hard lives (in the entertainment & tourism industry, logging or elephant camps). The sanctuaries now provide them with a life as close as possible to their wild relatives. Additionally, they focus on education, conservation an how to protect elephants remaining in the wild.<\/span><\/p>\n

An Ethical & Responsible Elephant Encounter<\/h5>\n

As a UK Charity, Globalteer does not support elephant riding<\/strong><\/a> or elephant performances which are common in Asia. So you won't find these at the sanctuaries; but you will still get up close to these gentle giants when volunteering with them! The sanctuaries Globalteer work with put the elephants first! <\/strong>Volunteers are there to help them have a carefree life free from the burden of work.<\/span><\/p>\n

Your elephant experience will have you working alongside elephant keepers! You will assist with tasks such as\u00a0\u00a0walking the elephants<\/strong> into the forest to forage and bathe<\/strong>. Volunteers also feed the elephants<\/strong> and help carry out health checks<\/strong> to ensure they remain healthy and happy. In additional to this you will also help plant and harvest food for the elephants<\/strong> and carry out general maintenance tasks around the sanctuaries so the elephants can have the best life possible!<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
