Voor een toekomst voor olifanten

Olifanten worden met uitsterven bedreigd. Hun leefgebied verdwijnt in een alarmerend tempo, door toedoen van mensen. Olifanten moeten daarom buiten beschermde gebieden op zoek naar voedsel en water. Zo ontstaan er meer en meer conflicten tussen olifanten en mensen. Als de olifant verdwijnt, verliezen we een prachtige diersoort, die zo cruciaal is voor onze natuur en ecosysteem. 

Alles op alles voor duurzame verandering!

Bring the Elephant Home zet alles op alles voor de overlevingskans van olifanten. Onze natuurbeschermingsprojecten starten bij de lokale gemeenschap. We streven naar duurzaam positieve verandering, naar een wereld waar mens en olifant in harmonie naast elkaar kunnen leven. Sluit je aan bij de missie van Bring the Elephant Home!

  • Welcoming @flooglebinderuk students from around the world to Ruam Thai has been an incredible start to the week! ๐ŸŒ

  • Weโ€™re excited to welcome Sateesh, a visiting researcher with our close collaborator @trunksnleaves, to our field site in Thailand!

Sateesh, a PhD student at the University of California San Diego, is here to advance our research on elephant behavior and the use of alternative crops to reduce negative interactions with farmers.

Collaboration is crucial in the quest for human-elephant coexistence. Itโ€™s inspiring to exchange ideas and learn about complementary efforts in Sri Lanka! Despite the torrential but much-needed rain, Sateesh and our team have been busy deploying camera traps and conducting drone surveys in farms across the community.

  • ๐Ÿ‘‹ Meet Marisa Phringphroh (Kie), another new member of our team! Kie is also an alumnus of the Conservation Ecology Program at King Mongkutโ€™s University of Technology Thonburi (KMUTT) and previously assisted BTEH with our wild elephant research across Thailand. 

Kie is an Ecologist with a vast skill set and knowledge of biodiversity and soil health. Specifically, she is an expert on Thailand's birds! ๐Ÿชบ 

Help us welcome Kie to the BTEH team as she helps us advance our understanding of how our projects affect and can better support ecosystem health and functioning!
  • Meet our newest team member, Natsuda Sutthiboriban (Mo)! Mo graduated from the Conservation Ecology Program at King Mongkutโ€™s University of Technology Thonburi (KMUTT) and has conducted extensive research across Thailand on elephant habitat suitability, behavior, and crop foraging activity. She previously assisted BTEH with our wild elephant research in Northern Thailand.

Recently, Mo published a paper titled "Factors Affecting Crop Damage by Elephants in the Buffer Zone of Huai Kha Khaeng, a World Heritage Site." You can read it here: https://doi.org/10.1071/PC23061.

We are thrilled to have Mo join our team and contribute to advancing our wild elephant research projects! Please join us in welcoming Mo to the BTEH family!
  • ๐ŸŒง๏ธ๐Ÿ’ชโ˜€๏ธ Rain or shine, the SFS students are dedicated to getting the job done! Last week, @thesfs_cambodia helped prepare a new alternative crop field by measuring plots, marking quadrants, and planting Sun Hemp seeds.

Sun Hemp is excellent for restoring soil depleted by pineapple crops, enriching the soil with essential nutrients, and improving its overall health.

Weโ€™re also exploring an exciting new project involving the use of Biochar combined with alternative crops for soil improvements and potential climate mitigation. Stay tuned for more updates!

A huge thank you to SFS for their hard work and support! ๐ŸŒฑ๐ŸŒ
