CRU (Conservation Response Unit) Tangkahan plays a vital role in the protection of Sumatran elephants and their habitat while fostering sustainable livelihoods for the local community. CRU Tangkahan relies on a dedicated team of mahouts, support staff, and administrators who ensure the well-being of their elephants and maintain the integrity of our conservation efforts. However, due to financial constraints, the CRU was recently struggling to cover essential expenses such as staff wages and elephant food costs.
At Asian Elephant Support, our small Board of Directors can quickly respond to emergency fund requests. The board was able to vote and wire money to help due to the urgency of the situation in a timely manner. With the emergency support from AES, CRU Tangkahan will be able to fulfill their obligations to their staff, sustain daily care for the elephants, and continue their conservation efforts without disruption.
AES is also able to respond quickly to emergency situations because of our supporters! We are an all-volunteer run nonprofit organization. All funds donated to Asian Elephant Support are applied to programs that aid in the care and conservation of Asian elephants in their range countries.
