Pun has endured a lifetime of heartbreak.
Exploited as a breeding elephant in Thailand, her babies were taken from her again and again, to be sold into the entertainment industry for a lifetime of abuse. It is a trauma no mother or baby should ever have to go through.
All of Pun’s babies were ripped from her after birth. She suffered heartbreak after heartbreak – all while being beaten and abused.

Our partner, Wildlife Friends Foundation Thailand (WFFT), was able to rescue Pun and one of her daughters before their cruel captors could separate them. Sadly, her daughter – who was just a year old at the time of rescue – later passed away, and since then, traumatized Pun has struggled to find companionship.
Lonely and heartbroken, all we want for Pun is friendship and love. Will you help?

After years of loss, Pun now finds it difficult to trust others and is frightened of other elephants. But with time, patience, and the right environment, Pun could begin to rediscover what it means to be an elephant and even find a place in a herd.
We urgently want to give Pun a new, much larger enclosure. This is because with careful introductions, made possible through neighboring elephant enclosures, it may be possible for Pun to form a friendship with another rescued elephant, and experience the companionship she so deeply deserves.
But to make this dream a reality, she needs your help.
Every contribution, no matter the size, brings Pun one step closer to a bigger home and the chance of friendship. Will you help her today?
