In 2015 AES partnered with the Golden Triangle Asian Elephant Foundation on Operation: Save Jun in an effort to send assistance to help an approximately three year old elephant who suffered serious injuries to his forelimb after being snared.
Jun - August 2020
Much needed funds not only allowed for veterinarians to travel to Vietnam, but also, helped to build an effective treatment center for Jun and other elephants in the region and provided the necessary medical supplies for multiple sedations and debridement of the wounds . AES funds also supported the travel expenses of experts who worked with caretakers on training techniques that allowed for the regular, follow-up treatments of Jun’s injuries and establish proper training methods for other elephants in the future.
In an update we received the week of August 9, 2020, Jun’s caretakers report that he is still receiving daily treatments including foot soaks, and that he is healing very well.
