Message from the
Founder and President
2015 was a year of completing one revolutionary project after another, refining existing designs and
devising solutions to emerging new challenges.
• We completed our Chain Free Means Pain Free projects in Nepal and Thailand,
releasing 59 more elephants from chains.
• In an important step toward long-term sustainability, EAI contracted with a highly qualified
Nepali citizen to act as on-site manager of the Chain Free project.
• EAI gave biannual pedicures to nearly 200 private- and government-owned
elephants near Chitwan National Park.
For Tarra,
who inspires
and
guides me
every day.
• We laid the groundwork to assist private elephant owners in Nepal with their conversion
to chain free.
We also made headway in our search for land for a new elephant sanctuary in the United States.
We expect to be able to report to you in this same space next year that work on its infrastructure
has begun.
In 2016, EAI will work on two exciting projects that have implications throughout Asia. We will take
Chain Free Means Pain Free into Phase Three, creating specially designed chain-free corrals strong
enough to meet the demands of bull (male) elephants. And we will help Nepal’s oldest eco-tourism
company revamp its program, making it eco-elephant friendly, educational and, most important,
doing away with elephant back safaris and chains.
As always, EAI owes its success to the kind support of our loyal donors, business and funding
partners, board, staff, interns, volunteers—and you.

Founder and President

Chain Free Means Pain Free
Phase Two Completed
This year, working side-by-side with Nepal’s Department of National Parks and
Wildlife Conservation, EAI and our team of international volunteers created
13 multi-acre chain-free corrals in two of the country’s largest government-run
hattisars and released 20 elephants into compatible groups.
Lambodhar Prasad Project:
Freeing Nepal’s Chain Gang
Of all elephants in captivity, perhaps males suffer the most. Because of their strength,
combined with their volatility during musth (heightened testosterone levels), bulls
lead chained lives of misery. Because the bulls’ tusks do not conduct electricity, they
can easily dismantle solar-powered corrals, requiring a different solution to free them
from chains.
In Nepal, nine ivory carrying bulls remain shackled in chains awaiting their freedom.
In a first-of-its-kind pilot project, EAI will build a four-acre steel pipe enclosure within
Chitwan National Park for the eldest of the bulls, 60-year-old Lambodhar Prasad. The
corral will be a prototype suitable for duplication Asia-wide.
Making Chain Free Means
Pain Free Sustainable
For elephants to remain chain free, the solar-powered corrals must be
operational at all times.
EAI has contracted with a monitoring and evaluation officer, Kulendra Kunwar, to
oversee the maintenance and functionality of the chain-free corrals in Nepal. Kulendra,
a highly qualified Nepali citizen, spent several weeks assisting with the construction of
EAI’s solar powered chain-free corrals at the Khorsor hattisar. He will visit and inspect
each chain-free enclosure in Chitwan National Park on a regular schedule, working
alongside the mahouts to maintain the fences and make any necessary repairs.
Pachyderm Pedicures
In December, EAI founder Carol Buckley returned to Nepal to provide biannual pedicures
for nearly 200 privately- and government-owned elephants near Chitwan National Park
in collaboration with partner National Trust for Nature Conservation.Carol, worked with
one-time intern, now professional care partner, Kiran Rijal, trimming feet and instructing
mahouts about foot health. Several foreign veterinarians and elephant keepers who
wanted to develop their foot trimming skills interned with EAI on the trip. Foot care is
essential to keeping captive-held elephants healthy; EAI is the only NGO that provides
this vital service.

Chain Free in Thailand
After nearly two years of preparation and numerous challenges—including shipping
materials from New Zealand and two attempts to get the Indian fence building crew
through Thai immigration—EAI installed the first solar powered chain-free corrals in
Thailand. The corrals are located at two of the country’s most highly respected and
progressive elephant facilities: Boon Lott’s Elephant Sanctuary (BLES) and Friends of
the Asian Elephant Hospital (FAE). In all, 17 elephants were released to a new life of
freedom and autonomy.
Carol: A Woman Changing the Planet
In November, Care2 named Carol Buckley one of nine women who are saving the
planet. The article cited the women, who include Jane Goodall; The Black Mombas,
young women who protect wildlife in South Africa; oceanographer Dr. Sylvia Earle;
Gabriella Cowperwaith, director of “Blackfish”; Cindy Lowry, activist for oceans and
their wildlife; fashion designer Stella McCartney; and Suzy Amis Cameron, sustainability
advocate, for their work as leaders of the animal rights and environmental movements.
EAI to Redesign Elephant Program
at Top Nepali Tourist Resort
Tiger Tops, Nepal’s oldest eco-tourism company and a leader in conservation efforts in
Chitwan, has asked Carol to guide them in transforming their elephant program.
Tiger Tops will be the first private company in Nepal to do away with elephant-back
safaris. Instead, visitors will learn about elephants by accompanying them on their daily
outings and jungle explorations.
Carol has already designed chain-free corrals for the 12 elephants, and will assist the
mahouts as they transition from traditional dominance management to the positive
reinforcement approach of Compassionate Elephant Care. She will also teach the
mahouts proper foot care techniques.
EAI in the News
EAI and its work were covered by many national and international outlets, including
The Economic Times, TakePart, Kathmandu Post, Gulf Times, news.com.au,
MyNorthwest.com, Ecorazzi, Bangkok Post, Offut Air Force Base, Omaha.com,
Live Encounters magazine, Care2, Validity magazine and Psychology Today. EAI’s
influence has simultaneously taken hold in the Asian culture of elephant management.
While the concept of training elephants humanely and allowing them to live chain free
was initially rejected, both are now becoming mainstream concepts, just as they did in
the western world not so long ago.

Elephant Aid International 2015
Our Mission
Elephant Aid International (EAI), a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, was founded by Carol Buckley in 2010 to create a paradigm shift that
will foster change in beliefs and approaches to the care and management of elephants throughout the world.
With the combined international efforts of scientists, veterinarians, mahouts (elephant handlers), elephant caregivers and elephant welfare
supporters, EAI is helping to change how the public relates to elephants; how mahouts and elephant caregivers train elephants; and how
captive elephants are cared for worldwide.
EAI has pioneered a new system, Compassionate Elephant Care, which will eliminate antiquated, dominance-based training
and result in improved elephant welfare.
By providing education and hands-on assistance, EAI is working to end the worldwide suffering of elephants…one elephant at a time.
Our Goals
• Improve the conditions of captivity in which elephants live and eliminate abusive training and management.
• Create alternatives to the use of chaining as a form of management.
• Train mahouts in positive management techniques so they can better care for and manage their elephants.
• Improve the social status of mahouts through education and job advancement.
• Remove begging elephants from the streets of Asia by finding alternative livelihoods for mahouts and their families.
• Facilitate the establishment of lifetime care centers (sanctuaries).
Our Projects
• Building chain-free enclosures to eliminate the antiquated and physically harmful practice of chaining elephants’ feet to the ground.
• Providing elephant pedicures and training mahouts in the skills necessary to support foot health and prevent life-threatening osteomyelitis.
• Increasing mahouts’ knowledge of elephant biology, psychology, behavior and learning style to help them develop more positive
interpersonal relationships with their elephants.
• Working with government agencies and NGOs to create permanent elephant care and retirement facilities.
• Improving elephant stable sanitation.
• Establishing a new elephant sanctuary in the United States.
