Asian Elephant Support supports the care and conservation of Asian elephants in their range countries. Here are some projects that meet criteria of support under our mission:

• Programs that implement regular health checks and treatments for elephants in remote camps.
• Training of calves under the watchful eye of their mothers so they can receive medical care more safely and be better prepared for a future under human care.
• English as a Second Language (ESL) classes for mahouts and veterinarians to help develop careers and communicate their role in ensuring the future of the species.
• Programs for retired elephants that meet the medical, nutritional, housing and social needs of geriatric animals.
• Collaborative projects that seek solutions to local issues of human-elephant conflict where both human and elephants benefit from sustainable practices.
