CHIANG MAI, THAILAND
Care for Elephants
Asian elephants face many threats – especially loss of
habitat due to encroaching development, which can lead
to conflict with humans. Today the elephant population in
Thailand is estimated at only 3,000 to 4,000. Lend a hand
with the least fortune of these animals at the Elephant
Nature Park outside Chiang Mai. As a sanctuary for
orphaned and disabled elephants, some of which have
been abused as work animals, the center invites visitors
to help feed and bathe the gentle giants, as well as assist
with general maintenance around the park.[…]

SOUTH DAKOTA
Explore the Badlands
Over the past half million years, erosion has sculpted
sediment deposited by the ancient sea that once
stretched across the Great Plains into buttes, spires, and
pinnacle formations, leaving us the Badlands. Named by
the Lakota for its unwelcoming terrain that they believed
was riddled with the remains of a mythological horned
serpent, the striking landscape inspires awe among
visitors today, especially during the magic hours of
sunrise and sunset, and under a full moon.[…]

COSTA RICA
Rescue Sea Turtles
Commercial fishing, coastal development, humans
harvesting eggs, marine debris, oil spills: The threats
to sea turtles are staggering. Only an estimated one in
1,000 to 10,000 survives to adulthood, which is why
conservationists around the world depend on
volunteers to give these primordial creatures the best
shot possible. Help conduct nightly patrols along the
black-sand beaches of Tortuguero National Park on
Costa Rica’s Caribbean coast, one of the most
important nesting sites in the Western
Hemisphere.[…]
