Riding elephants is strictly prohibited within the project area, and elephants must only exhibit natural behaviors.
Most of Ker-Chor's donations and tourism revenue are used for elephant care, including habitat conservation, forage, veterinary care, and rescue costs. The well-being of local communities is also taken into consideration.
