Introducing Dokeo!

Introducing DOKEO, the newest resident of Mekong Elephant Park! Through your generosity, LEI was able to make a grant supporting the larger effort to rescue Dokeo from a life working in the logging industry. He now gets to spend his days walking freely the Mekong River and embracing the sounds of nature. We are ecstatic to be working with the Mekong Elephant Park and look forward to more fruitful projects in the near future.

Land of a Million Elephants

While Laos is still referred to as the country of a million elephants, there are only about 800 elephants left in the country, of which only half still exist in the wild. This decline in numbers has occurred alarmingly fast. We are working to change this reality for elephants and Laotian communities.
