THE RESCUE OF MONGKOLN

Mongkoln’s journey to freedom & recovery is a heartwarming tale of resilience and compassion. Now thriving in a sanctuary, he enjoys a peaceful & nurturing environment where he is free to roam and form bonds with other rescued elephants. However, his life was not always so serene. Torn from his mother as a baby and separated from his nanny, Mongkoln was thrust into the world of tourist attractions, locked in a 3x3 pen, waiting for tourists to feed him. Living in constant chains with inadequate nutrition, he was doomed to slavery for the rest of his life like many other animals for "human entertainment." Fortunately, the combined efforts of six organizations led to his dramatic rescue & relocation, transforming his life from one of suffering to one of hope and healing.
