This week we were able to join Patti Johnee, in making medicine balls for the elephants! ☺️

These medicine balls are full of vitamins from tree bark, roots and tamarind collected from the forest and trees around the village. They’re all mashed together and made into balls are then dried in the sun, before being given to the elephants as a vitamin boost 🌱

All the rice paddies are harvested now, so Rambo says yes please to eating the rest of the rice plants! 🌾

His favourite food may be grass, but if there’s rice and corn on offer, that’s where he’ll be going 🙌🏻

We love a Boon Choo hike!

There’s also a chance that he could be starring in our next Christmas song… 😆

Any guesses as to which one it could be? 🤔

Lulu has been with GVI since 2016 and is a great example of successful reintegration ☺️

Please help us keep her here in the forests, where she’s much happier and moving freely as an elephant should!

All donations are greatly appreciated and means she can stay here and not return to the tourism industry! The donation link is in our bio and the QR code in the post will also take you to our page 🐘

Thank you! 😊

This week we went camping in the caves and did a gibbon survey the next morning, in which we spotted two gibbons within their cave territory 🐒

The female’s call didn’t match any of our previous recordings, which is exciting as we have a potential new female to identify! ☺️

Boon Choo is a different elephant, compared to when he first joined the program the beginning of last year 🙌🏻

He takes himself off to forage for food and is comfortable stepping away from his mahouts ☺️

With the seasons changing and the rain finished until next year, the gibbons are becoming more active! 🐒

We’ve been hearing more calls in the mornings and catching more glimpses ☺️

Rambo in a rice paddy 😍

All of this year’s rice has been harvested, so the elephants and buffalo go into the fields and paddies to eat the rest of the rice plant… it’s their favourite time of year 🌾

Lulu found a great grass area today and decided the best way to eat it all, was to stand inside it 😂

She ate it all though, so it was a good idea 🙌🏻

This week we were shown how to do traditional basket weaving, by one of our village elders, Patti Sayee ☺️

We are so lucky to be shown these traditional skills, which are still being done in the village ✨

November means Sunflower Fields! 🌻

Every year for just a few weeks, fields full of sunflowers bloom! We’re lucky to be close enough that we could visit them! 😍

Often during different seasons elephants may appear a little different in colour, due to a behaviour called dusting 🐘

Here is Pu Noy showing us the difference between rainy season and hot season… when it’s hot he throws dust on himself, giving him the brown colouring, rather than the grey ☺️
