organization: International Elephant FoundationSupporting Conservation Response Units (CRU) that conduct patrols and record evidence of illegal activities, human-wildlife conflicts and wildlife presence. Elephants provide transportation for mahouts and forest rangers monitoring forest activities, serve as a tool for gaining local community interest during awareness events, and help drive away crop raiding wild elephants should conflict incidents arise. Mahouts not only take care of the elephants but have become highly motivated conservationists.
