   We have heard about the elephant riding, elephant safari and have never think about the animal rights and their real wants. They are the free ranging animal and want to live in the wilderness. It is very simple and we take it easy, when we use those innocent creature for our pleasure and forgot the thing that they have the pain which they cannot express.One man can change the world,change is possible and its need us for the initiation.Elephent aid international(A carol buckley project) is completely new for many of us,but it is a non profit and importantly autonomous organization runed by the one of the female as a founder of the organization.

    As a developing country, Nepal lack many of infrastructure as well a technical development.We do have passion,interest but we youth are compelled to hide our ideas and innovation due to various reasons. An exemplary work initiated by the women leader for the sake of those innocent creature elephant. For Nepal's working elephants, life in captivity is filled with pain,isolation and despair.Day after day often with no shelter and vegetative cover from which to escape from burning,they stand for long hours shackled in heavy chains that prevent them from moving more than a few inches in any direction.Often stuck standing in their own waste, their feet become deformed and painful from infected and necrotic tissue. They develop crippling bone and joint conditions and exhibit abnormal rocking, bobbing and swaying behaviors. Many die sick and broken.Also in case of Nepal, many elephants are infected with tuberculosis esp. in sauraha.

 But now its not the case, its changing and life doesn't seems to be like before.The first phase of the project is being finished and second phase is going to be start from 2015.Elephant Aid International works hands-on with mahouts, NGO?s, tourist facilities, elephant welfare groups, researchers and government officials in joint efforts to effect change by improving elephant welfare in captivity and in situ, as well as the lives of mahouts and their families who care for elephants.Till date, 31 chain-free corrals have been built and 31 elephants have been unshackled in Phase One of EAI?s.With the mission,one elephant at a time, project is working in different phase for the sake of animals rights. This projects focus on building chain-free enclosures to eliminate the antiquated and physically harmful practice of chaining elephant's feet to the ground.It has been a milestone in the rights of animals and spreading this idea globally can be the best initiatives in the field of wildlife.
