PROGRAM

H-ELP Foundation Black Tie Ball

Saturday 16 June at Mornington Racecourse

Human Elephant Learning Programs (H-ELP) is an Australian registered charity working to improve the welfare of working elephants in India, Thailand and Myanmar.

Elephant conservation in Asia is complex, involving topics of land conservation, anti-poaching and human-elephant conflict. It gains less media attention than its African counterpart.

Founded by Dr Andrew McLean and Laurie Pond in 2010, H-ELP focuses on the rehabilitation and improvement of living conditions for working elephants, and contributes to the development, welfare and safety of elephant handlers and trainers. It does so through the application of systematic, humane, evidence-based training and engagement with local communities and other stakeholders.

H-ELP has grown significantly as Dr McLean’s method is recognised as a viable and safe alternative to traditional submission-based methods.

In 2014, H-ELP published a manual, Elephant Friendly Training for Working Elephants, written by Dr McLean, which has since been translated into Assamese, Malayalam, Thai and Burmese, to widespread positive acclaim.

H-ELP is holding its annual Black Tie Fundraising Ball at the Mornington Racecourse on Saturday 16 June 2018. The ball will feature a presentation of H-ELP’s work, fundraising activities and a live band. 100% of the proceeds will go to H-ELP.
