The Elephant Conservation Center is the only organization in Laos who is interested in maintaining the population and breeding of elephants. They have the only elephant hospital and research laboratory in Laos. The Center was created in 2011, and now the team is protecting 29 elephants that had been working in the logging industry or mass tourism, and 530 hectares of forest around Nam Tien Lake in Sayaboury. A special socialization program has been developed by the biologists, where domesticated elephants learn to communicate and survive in the wild under the supervision of specialists.
