What We Do
BLES is a small, family run, ethical elephant sanctuary and we believe in being kind. Through your financial support we are able to give back to our community and all the animals that are in need of our help.
We are so grateful for your continued support and appreciate every single one of you.

Rescue Elephants
BLES was established first and foremost as a safe haven for exploited and abused elephants. We have been rescuing elephants in Thailand for more than 20 years. If you would like to support our herd of rescued elephants, consider a symbolic adoption today!

Empower Local Community
All of the BLES Team come from our local community, enabling the mahouts to stay with their families, instead of having to move far away to find work. We also engage our local community with outreach events. Learn more about community involvement here at BLES!

Cat and Dog Outreach
The sanctuary is home to over 40 dogs and cats at any one time. BLES also covers medical care and expenses for anybody in the local community who needs assistance with their pet. Support our cat and dog efforts and learn more about our smaller animals below.
