Charoen Pokphand Foods Public Company Limited (CP Foods) donated 60 tons of “Erawan Elephant” foods to the Thai Elephant Alliance Association as a part of “Thais Love Elephants Project”. The effort aims at saving Thai elephants from starvation and undernutrition during the COVID-19 crisis.
Rewat Hathaisattayapong, Executive Vice President of CP Foods, said that the company has donated 60 tons of Erawan E3, elephant food with the internationally-recognized standard, to the Thai Elephant Alliance Association. These food supplies will be distributed to elephant sanctuaries and agencies under the Department of Livestock.

“”The COVID-19 pandemic has affected not only human, but also the animals. Thai elephants are severely suffered from this crisis. In order to save them, CP Foods has joined the Thais love elephant project for the second year, offering food supplements to keep the elephants, especially old and sick animals, healthy during the outbreak,” he said.
