Elephant Asia Rescue & Survival Foundation (EARS) was launched in Hong Kong in 2010 to promote awareness of the plight of the Asian elephant. In addition to overseeing the animal welfare and management at Phuket Elephant Sanctuary, EARS Asia works to educate people globally on ethical tourism and animal welfare for elephants in Asia.
In 2015, EARS Asia learned that two Asian elephants in our care at Teuk Chhou Zoo in Cambodia, Kiri and Seila, were to be sent to Japan in a trade deal by their owner. EARS Asia successfully petitioned to stop the trade however as a result were banned from providing any further care. In 2016, EARS Asia launched a new campaign with the support of tens of international animal welfare organisations to "#CloseTheZoos" - namely Teuk Chhou Zoo and its sister zoo, Prey Veng Zoo, both in Cambodia. Visit our website or www.zoowatch.org for more information.

I have never been a fan of Zoo’s, but walking around this place has to be the most gut wrenching experience ever! Kiri, Seila, Bob and all the other animals trapped in this hellhole deserve so much more!! I was lucky enough to spend “a day in the life” of Louise Rogerson while Kiri and Seila were under her care, she worked tirelessly to do the best she could for ALL the animals, that was some mean feat for one woman!
