Animal Conservation

Lanta Animal Welfare is a small charity with limited resources and we have to manage those resources very carefully to help the animals that need it most.

We are currently full to capacity with rescue cats and dogs, and there are not enough homes for them all.

Roaming cats and dogs are very common in Thailand, even ones that are owned. They are very resilient and know how to find food and shelter.

Under a sustainable tourist program and new name, Following Giants now actively partners with World Animal Protection for on and off-site training, infrastructure development, constant evaluation, as well as continuous improvement for the welfare of the elephants and surrounding nature. The resident elephants have given their last rides and lifted their last logs. It’s now time for us to follow these gentle giants as they lead the way.
