Right now, animals are being exploited for our entertainment.

The tourism industry was deeply impacted coronavirus pandemic. It shone a harsh spotlight on how people treat wild animals captive for tourist entertainment. And the catastrophic impact of wildlife exploitation has affected our health, economies, planet.

Between 2010 and 2020, the numbers of captive elephants in tourism increased by a massive 135% making Thailand the hotspot for elephant suffering.Covid 19 has had a devastating impact to the plight of these elephants. With no income from tourism, the lives of these elephants, their carers (mahouts) and the venues has been put in jeopardy. Many elephants faced malnutrition and ill health; some were forced to beg on the streets. 

You can protect elephants and other wild animals by reducing the demand for wild animal in entertainment in the countries where you holiday. You can help spread the word with these travel items to encourage others to be animal friendly tourists when they travel.

When wild animals are left in the wild and people keep a safe distance and protect wild habitats, the planet becomes a much safer, healthier place.
