Your involvement with the amazing inhabitants of Elephant Nature Park doesn't need to end when you leave the Park! By participating in our unique foster program, you will not only help us care for our elephants, but you will also have the satisfaction of knowing that you are making a real difference in the life of elephants at the Park.
Fostering an elephant is also a perfect gift for your loved ones. Whether they are conservationists or just love elephants, this exciting opportunity is ideal for people of all ages. And although you will be choosing one elephant to foster, your donation will go toward the care and well-being of our entire herd.
Why not sponsor young Tong Jan for a child and watch them grow together? Celebrate a marriage or an anniversary with Max, our mature and debonair male elephant. And for that person who has everything, you can sponsor Hope, our mischievous youngster.

By becoming a foster parent you will be in close contact with one of your favorite elephants from the Park. Throughout the year, you will receive updates on your foster elephant's progress, their friends and family in the herd, and their likes and dislikes.
———— Become Max's Foster Parent ————
 | Max was rescued in 2002 from a long life of logging, trekking, and street begging. Three years before arriving at the Park, he was involved in a horrific traffic accident. Max's height makes him a very distinguished elephant; in fact, he is one of the tallest elephants living in Thailand today. |
Foster Max for 2 years for 3,750 Thai baht (US $116.55 or UK £59.59)
Foster Max for 3 years for 5,500 Thai baht (US $170.94 or UK £87.39)

 | Hope is one of the Park's youngest and cheekiest elephants! He was born in 2001 but sadly orphaned shortly thereafter. Hope arrived at the Park when he was just over a year old. He is a playful and boisterous young elephant and certainly keeps his mahout on his toes! |

*By sending your foster materials by email, Elephant Nature Foundation not only conserves paper, but it also saves on administration and postage costs. Your contribution will be used for food and medicine for all the elephants at the Park. Please note: We encourage you to visit your foster elephant at any time, but it will be necessary to book and pay for your visit to the Park ahead of time.
If you have any questions about our Foster an Elephant program, please email us at Foster@ElephantNatureFoundation.org. Your support of this exciting initiative means a world of difference to the Park and is greatly appreciated by the elephants!
