Elephant Nature Park
Elephant Nature Park is a sanctuary and rescue centre for elephants in Mae Taeng District, Chiang Mai Province, Northern Thailand, approximately from Chiang Mai City. Founded in 1996, the project's aim is to provide sanctuary for distressed elephants from all over Thailand. Set in a natural valley, bordered by a river, and surrounded by forested mountains the sanctuary and surrounding area also offers a glimpse of rural life.
==Background==
Its founder, Sangduen "Lek" Chailert, was born in 1962 in the small hill tribe village of Baan Lao in Northern Thailand.〔http://www.elephantnaturefoundationuk.org/elephant-nature-foundation/about-the-founder/〕 Her maternal grandfather was a tribal man of the forest and a traditional healer, Lek's jungle forays with him led to an early understanding of nature. When she was young, her family cared for an elephant which became a close companion to her. This affection led to working with elephants in the forests.
After completing a Bachelor of Arts from Chiang Mai University, Lek Chailert founded the ''Elephant Heaven Nature Park'' in 1996, in an attempt to provide a sanctuary for elephants to live in a peaceful natural environment. This location was closed in 2003 as the ''Elephant Nature Park'' opened.
The park has close ties with Chiang Mai-based ''Save Elephant Foundation'', also founded by Lek Chailert.
