<div style="text-align: justify;">
"Elephants are very important to the Lao people, but they are getting smaller, there are children who have not even seen elephants," said Michael Vogler, co-founder of the MandaLao elephant camp in 2016, told CNN. . "A lot of people do not realize the level of despair of the situation."</div>

MandaLao is home to six mature elephants and an 18-month-old elephant. They are all rescued from the logging industry.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"They have individuality and character." As with Kitty, sometimes we have to try two or three different things to see what he wants to eat, "Vogler said. "It will not eat sugar cane unless it has been peeled, it is too spoiled."</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Vogler said that if everything went according to plan, the kit would not live at MandaLao. The camp management is working with a national park to bring back the wildlife.</div>
