Elephant FestivalThis is a featured page

Elephas Maximus is Throwing a Party. You're Invited! One of the defining components of Asian heritage is under threat due to loss of its forest habitat and economic development eroding human demand for its strength and intelligence, according to elefantasia.org. In response to these concerns, the Elephant Festival is an attempt to raise awareness of the need to protect the Asian elephant, an animal dear to the hearts of the people of the Mekong.

Sayaboury in Laos plays host to cultural activities and entertainment at the 2009 Elephant Festival, February 14-15: "Expect to see colorful elephant processions, elephant bathing, mahout demonstrations, ancient Baci ceremony, traditional Monk blessings, live performances, night markets, fun fairs and much, much more."
