Lao Elephant Initiative

WE ARE WORKING TO IGNITE POSITIVE CHANGE FOR WILD AND CAPTIVE ASIAN ELEPHANTS

Founded as a 501(c)(3) charitable organization, and based in Denver, Colorado, the Lao Elephant Initiative (LEI) supports elephant conservation projects in the Lao People’s Democratic Republic. 

The mission of Lao Elephant Initiative (LEI) is to promote the wellbeing of both captive and wild Asian elephants through education, community partnerships, and innovative conservation strategies.  

Your generosity has a direct and profound impact on the lives of elephants and communities across Laos. Every dollar you donate fuels our efforts to protect these magnificent creatures, conserve their habitats, and promote sustainable coexistence with local communities.
