We’re back in Thailand now after a challenging time working in Myanmar on several deeply saddening elephant situations. The trade of what some may call “elephant parts”, but we call “pieces of the bodies of sentient beings”, is escalating, with every possible bit of these innocent animals being sold to the highest bidder. It is the most complex movement of illegal trade we’ve seen, and it was heartbreaking, eye opening, and never, ever, what it seemed. From Myanmar, the main market for the the ivory, and the tail hair and elephant skin, is China. The market for elephant skin in China is huge. And this is, if it’s possible, more tragic than the ivory, as the murdering of entire elephant families and herds is done for skin. For the tusks, you need the big papas. For the skin, any age is a target... CITES is slated to be held in Sri Lanka at the end of May 2019, and we’ll be there. It’s a bleak time for elephants, but more and more people around the world are fighting for the survival of the remaining wild ones, and for the humane treatment of those held captive. United we stand, in hopes that together, we can reverse the tragedy before it is too late as we fight for what’s right, for a kinder world for us all. We won’t give up, and we know you won’t either.

@Regranned from @jeyce_7 - @Regranned from @heartofganesh - If you ❤elephants, look don't touch! Captive elephants used in the tourism industry live a life of abuse and misery. It's ironic that many tourists who ride elephants and are funding this terrible abuse actually love elephants and have a desire to be close to them. 👉Tag someone who needs to see this message. 🙏🏼There are options for tourists who wants to see elephants, like going on a safari or going to a legitimate sanctuary. dontrideelephants 🐘 🐘 - There is no such thing as a humane elephant ride. When you get to go home, your elephant goes back on chains and lives a life of pain and misery. Don't believe anyone who tells you it's a "sanctuary" if they are letting you ride the elephants. Say NO to elephant cruelty disguised as entertainment! 🐘 #notonmybucketlist #elephants #animalcruelty #elephanttourism #elephantride #iloveelephants @jeyce_7 #jeyce_7 #veganwoman #conscious #truthseeker #foodismedicine #freethinkers #activism #injustice #revolutionary - #regrann - #regrann

Paint nights are even more fun when it's for a good cause! Saving the elephants is so important. #heartofganesh @shanna_nbw @naturalbodyworks #elephants #painting #expressyourself

I have just one question: Why?

#Repost @heartofganesh (@get_repost) ・・・ When you want to help elephants have a better life, particularly in countries that have known tremendous hardship and suffering, lending a hand to the rural village school is a sound way to shift a past filled with conflict toward a future of coexistence. Although people from around the world help change the future for wild and captive elephants, in the end it will be up to the people who live among them to chart their course, and as anywhere, education is key. To light up the hearts of children, offering options and choices for them and their families inspires and enables a different future for one another, for the animals, and for the mountainous forests they all call home. Thanks to the good people at Elephant Valley Project Cambodia, Heart of Ganesh was able to supply and deliver much-needed school bags and water bottles to 127 children living in the middle of these elephant lands. Many of these children did not have their own pencils, let alone notebooks, story books, and other basic learning necessities. The next phase of the Elephant Love Project is already in the works, with wood, sand, and metal set to be delivered to the school in the next few weeks to rebuild the empty library. A cement floor, a proper roof, and sound walls will go in, and then the children will come together to paint their new learning space. Once it’s ready, HG will stock it with books, art supplies, and other educational materials for both teachers and students. A big rumbling thanks to everyone at the school, and trunks up to EVP for generously facilitating. Stay tuned for more good news from the Heart! #humanelephantconflict #heartofganesh #picoftheday
