We've collected a group of the most authoritative, active and outspoken leaders in this field, and through their stories and essays you'll share their wisdom as you choose if and how to include elephants, ethically, in your Asia travels.

Elephants in Asia, Ethically
Humane experiences with Asia’s sacred animal
Elephant riding in Asia may seem commonplace and normal, no different to horseback or camel rides. Too few realize that with elephants — an undomesticated animal and endangered species — it’s much more complicated. That's why we created this guide.
Get the guideThailand, a nearly 1,000-year-old kingdom with a population and landmass to match the UK, is a land of plenty. Old-growth jungle cloaks the mountains. Brilliant beaches rim hundreds of islands. The scent of tropical aromatics — galangal and coconut, finger root and bird's eye chilli — steam from endless markets. As far as the eye can see, rice fields shimmer.
