This video highlights an inspiring journey of growth and compassionate care—mahouts learning to look after elephants without using chains, hooks, or force.

Recently, a group of mahouts arrived at Elephant Nature Park from Indonesia, where they previously worked in traditional elephant camps using heavy chains and hooks to manage the elephants. Following the Indonesian government's decision to phase out elephant riding, these mahouts traveled to ENP to learn a different approach to working with elephants.
