Veterinary Care for Sumatra's Elephants

We are pleased to provide support for veterinary care of elephants and other wildlife in Sumatra along with our veterinary field partner, the Wildlife Ambulance from the Syiah Kuala University Veterinary Faculty in Aceh.

The Wildlife Ambulance Veterinarians provide routine health care to the camp elephants in Aceh. These health checks include weighing each elephant regularly, assessing body condition, and providing needed treatments.

These visits also serve as a training opportunity for veterinary students who assist in examining the elephants and collecting samples.
