Angel investor Larry Tey Por Yee funds Elephant Rescue in Thailand
New York (PRWEB) January 25, 2017 -- Environmentalist and investor Tey Por Yee (Larry) sponsored the program of elephant rescue in Thailand, as part of the Gomif Partners’ Socialpreneurship corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiative. Larry shows his concerns and contributed to the program during Thailand Cyber Workshop in Bangkok.
The program helps mahouts and elephant owners to return to their community in Northern Thailand.
Street begging and working in tourist camps significantly reduces the life expectancy of these endangered species. It diminishes their high cultural importance and places individuals in inhumane living conditions. Working elephants are waiting to join our forest reintroduction program and funds are desperately needed to facilitate this. Mahouts and owners join our education and alternative livelihoods program along with their elephants to ensure they have a sustainable alternative form of work.
“By offering them the opportunity to bring their elephants back to live in peace, as it was intended, in the forest, means that they can avoid working the elephants in circus shows and street begging”, commented Larry.
The program is organized by GVI & GlobalGiving. Learn more about the program at https://www.globalgiving.org/projects/elephant-rescue-thailand/
