ElefantAsia is a nonprofit organisation protecting the Asian elephant, ''Elephas maximus''. It operates in Laos PDR (Laos) where today there are only 1500 Asian elephants remaining,〔Norachack, B 2002, 'The care and management of domesticated Asian elephants in Lao PDR', in Baker I & Kashio, M (eds), Giants On Our Hands: Proceedings of the International Workshop on the domesticated Asian elephant, FAO Regional Office for Asia and the Pacific, Bangkok, pp 172-180.〕 560 of these domesticated and working with their mahouts. Created by Sebastien Duffillot and Gilles Maurer, ElefantAsia has been working in Laos, the Land of a Million Elephants since 2001. Much of their organisation’s work is conducted in the Sayaboury, or Xaignabouli Province of Laos, which is home to an approximate 75% of the country’s domesticated elephant population. == Activities == If economic pressures and changing ways of life continue unchanged, the Asian elephant and its habitat will disappear from Laos within only a number of years. This is because information collation, surveying and national census have proved ineffective at providing accurate data on wild and domestic elephant populations.〔Norachack, B 2002, 'The care and management of domesticated Asian elephants in Lao PDR', in Baker I & Kashio, M (eds), ''Giants On Our Hands: Proceedings of the International Workshop on the domesticated Asian elephant,''FAO Regional Office for Asia and the Pacific, Bangkok, pp 172-180.〕 ElefantAsia is attempting to reverse this trend by concentrating conservation efforts in three main areas:- veterinary, educational and economical support.〔ElefantAsia 2008, ''Fields of Action'', 22 April 2008, http://www.elefantasia.org/spip.php?article52&lang=en〕 ElefantAsia has developed a veterinary care unit and carries out public awareness campaigns and environmental education within Laos.
