An Interview with Lek Chailert, Elephant Nature Park

With love and respect for her country’s national symbol and the knowledge that they were becoming endangered, Lek began advocating for the rights and welfare of the Asian elephants in Thailand. In an industry steeped in tradition, advocating for positive change in the ways domestic and wild Asian elephants are treated has not been an easy battle. However, with hard work and determination, her voice is now internationally recognized. In addition to several documentaries produced by National Geographic, Discovery, Animal Planet and the BBC, Lek has also won many honorary awards.
Lek’s mission continues to affect others as her voice is heard throughout the world. Her story and voice have made an impact in the minds of all who give their lives to animal welfare and conservation. Lek’s mission to save the Asian elephants continues to expand. She has formed the Save Elephant Foundation and a dedicated team works tirelessly by her side to protect the Asian elephant.
Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton invited Lek to Washington, DC in 2010 to honour her as one of six Women Heroes of Global Conservation. However, the accolades do not end there. Lek was named one of Time Magazine’s Heroes of Asia for her work in conservation in 2005 and the Ford Foundation’s “Hero of the Planet” in 2001.

Lek deserves the Nobel Peace Prize, she deserves it more than the politically chosen winners of 2021.

Lek ! You'd got me ! Now my eyes and my heart are opened. Growing up in Thailand for all those years, I had no idea that elephants were abused. From now on I'll spread the news to everyone I talk to about no riding, no supporting elephant circus etc and I'll try to do more for them.

I despair of people who abuse elephants, indeed any animal. Lek is a heroine, an earth angel. Governments should be ambassadors for empathy and show the world that they care. May God bless Lek and her helpers.

[@number1soma]

A true guardian of a peaceable kingdom. Lek is among the top list of women who have found purpose in perserving the animal kingdom residents. She is up there with Jane Goodall, Diane Fosse, Daphne Sheldrick, Claudine Andre', Dr. Birute' Mary Galdikas, etc.

[@Ashanti71]

So sad that people still live in the Middle Ages. This is the 21st Century!! People need to wake up!! Lek you're the best! 🙏🏼❤🙏🏼❤🙏🏼

I agree Lek I love animals but also love people. Because people are poor and do terrible things do not make them terrible people. Education with Love and understanding is the key to promote change in this world.

[@terrinichols332]

You are amazing! Can you save Mama and her twin boys born on 8/31/21 in Sri Lanka that are reported being abused and chained?

[@cacatr4495]

I would suggest that you email an elephant rescue group (or wildlife conservation group) in Sri Lanka, or if you don't know of one, that you email ENP/SEF to ask if they know of one near there, and that you want to see those elephants rescued. You can write them via their websites, at either Elephant Nature Park (org) or Save Elephant (org) Foundation website, at their 'Contact Us' page.

[@annickborys2465]

Do you all have any kind of law South Africa all from love😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮

[@Stargazer69]

Lek is truly an angel on earth. She is one of the most remarkable human beings I have ever heard of. She's right, the world is full of hateful, evil people and I am one of those people that would much rather surround myself with animals, rather than spent time with other human beings. I feel a strong kinship with her and would love to come volunteer with her there at the sanctuary. But, unfortunately, I live in the United States and could never afford to make that trip to Thailand. My deepest gratitude goes out to her and all of those remarkable volunteers that work tirelessly every day to ensure those beautiful creatures are well taken care of, and live a life free of torture. May God bless all the amazing people that volunteer their time, and donate money to help support such a worthy cause. 🙏🫂❤️🐘
