In the jungles of Nepal, I found the most beautiful and intelligent creatures. Elephants are so clever and conscious, and they made me realise that humans are definitely not the smartest animal on the planet. So when I saw them being chained up by the government and hotel owners looking to make easy money from tourist rides, I was furious. And I so badly wanted to cut those chains and set them free. But I couldn't. I wanted to help somehow, so an angel named Coranne found me and told me about an elephant sanctuary she works with. Elephant Care Nepal (ECN) is a family with a mission to stop elephant ride tourism in Chitwan and transition to ethical encounters which respect these amazing animals. The Nepalese government made it illegal to release elephants back into the wild, so ECN is making the most of a bad situation. If they had unlimited funding, they'd buy all 40 elephants in Chitwan and give them a safe, comfortable retirement. I like what this family is trying to do, so I offered some artistic support - a hand painted sign and digital flyers. I wanted to make ripples - the more people who know about this, the more help the elephants will get, hopefully. If you want to be part of the change, they'd be so grateful for a donation.
