“I’ve been to both destinations with ELEI, and both were life-changing experiences. Heather Kasey brings you directly into the culture you are visiting and gives an in-depth education on human-elephant interaction, the effects of population and climate change on the environment, wildlife, and communities, and more than you ever thought to know about elephant life cycles, health, behaviors, and our impact on their survival. Her work with ELEI is a glimpse of hope for these amazing animals and the people who live with them. Her trips to Africa and Southeast Asia are the best way to visit these regions in an intimate setting. I loved every minute!”
