—Her story
Mae Keo Khoun
Mae Keo Khoun’s journey reflects resilience and hope. Once a logging elephant, she spent many challenging years in heavy labor before being transferred to the Lao Zoo, then primarily a holding facility for animals in Laos.
In 2018, the zoo transformed into the Lao Conservation Trust for Wildlife (LCTW), a dedicated rescue center, where Mae Keo Khoun began to receive the care and compassion she needed to heal. In 2023, her journey continued as LCTW entrusted her to the Elephant Conservation Center. Now in Thongmixay, a protected forested area, Mae Keo Khoun lives a near-wild life, foraging, socializing with other elephants, and thriving in a natural habitat.
Her story is a testament to collaboration for animal welfare, and we thank LCTW for their trust and partnership in ensuring Mae Keo Khoun’s freedom and well-being.
