Unsuccessful Wild Elephant Rescue Chanthaburi 

July 2006 On July 12th we were informed by one of our volunteers in Chanthaburi province that a large male wild elephant was stuck in a mud pool for two days and could not get on his feet. Immediately our rescue team got on the way to see if they could help out. The E.R.E.C. mahout Berm and Doctor Olarn (Oh) left that morning to make the six hour trip to Chanthaburi province.

More update soon.....
