COMUNIDADE APOIADA

Elephant Nature Park (ENP) is an elephant rescue and rehabilitation center located in Chiang Mai province, in northern Thailand. Founded in the 1990s by activist Lek Saengduean Chailert, ENP rescues elephants from mistreatment resulting from unconscious tourism and provides them with a home equipped to meet all their needs. Currently, the sanctuary also houses other animals such as: dogs, cats, horses, buffaloes, cows, pigs and goats.


It is important to highlight that many of the elephants suffered physical and psychological injuries, which gives them trauma in relation to humans. At ENP there are blind, crippled, orphaned and elderly animals who, despite their tragic past, are now free to live a peaceful life in a natural environment, where they are loved and respected.


Daily, the park's elephants can be seen grazing in the fields, bathing in the river, playing in the mud pits, socializing and caring for their young. And you can be part of it all!

atividades SOCIAIS

Quem pontua as necessidades é quem as sente. A Karibu, em parceria com as lideranças locais, identifica quais necessidades podem ser trabalhadas e quais as melhores formas de executá-las, por meio das atividades sociais, visando resultados consistentes.

Os interessados poderão atuar em diferentes frentes, mediante suas habilidades. Não é necessário ter nenhum conhecimento específico, pois a Karibu irá capacitar previamente na execução das atividades desenvolvidas. O mais importante é a proatividade para aprender, ensinar e adquirir novas experiências. Serão estruturadas as seguintes atuações:

Volunteering with the elephants was a transformative and surreal experience. Their intelligence and delicacy impressed me, beings so large and powerful, but full of sensitivity and grace. Knowing that my work contributed to their well-being was extremely rewarding. I recommend this experience to anyone who wants to go beyond tourism, immersing themselves in a journey of learning, deep connection and respect for wildlife.

ENP was my first international volunteering, in 2016. The experience with the elephants was indescribable, as was the interaction with the volunteers and the local team. I came back from this experience completely in love and, from there, my life changed completely.

This was my second volunteering with Karibu, a different experience from the first, as I was alone, but with all the support from Karibu! Doing this work with animals was something of immense value and learning for me as a human being. And meeting people with the same purpose and locals and being able to observe all the work that is done in the community for animals is beautiful and enriching!
