Our commitment to elephants
00
A conservation mission
Respectful tourism
Protect the last elephants
Terres Rouges actively supports the protection of the region’s last domestic elephants. Beyond the animals, this commitment helps safeguard:
✔ a unique forest territory
✔ local know-how
✔ a balance between nature and development
The protected areas around Banlung and the Katieng waterfalls play an essential role in conserving biodiversity.
Today, our commitment contributes to:
Protecting 4 elephants in the province Preserving more than 100 hectares of forest Supporting the local communities who live alongside them Developing respectful tourism
The elephant at the heart of culture
Here, elephants live free, without exploitation. They move through their natural habitat at the forest’s pace, and visitors can observe them respectfully and discover their place in Khmer culture.
100 hectares of forest preserved
The Okatieng forest is an essential refuge for elephants and local biodiversity. Preserving it helps maintain a living ecosystem and provides a concrete way to fight deforestation.
Mahout know-how passed on
Airavata promotes Khmer traditions by passing on the ancestral knowledge of mahouts. This human–elephant relationship, built on trust, is an integral part of Cambodia’s cultural heritage.
An ethical and responsible project
Airavata offers an alternative to mass tourism. Each visit contributes to protecting elephants, respecting local communities, and supporting more mindful tourism.
