PUBLISHED:| UPDATED:
Elephant fans have gathered in Thailand to
celebrate the annual National Elephant Day honouring the tusked beasts.
In Pattaya resort, Chonburi province, 52
elephants were treated to an all-you-can-eat fruit buffet to mark the day.
A senior mahout, the Thai name for a
professional elephant rider, blessed the animals with holy water before the
annual event at the resort.

52 elephants on National Elephant Day in Pattaya, Chonburi province
Events will be held all week in order to draw
attention to the efforts to save the species and protect their shrinking
habitats in Thailand.
Over the past decades
Thailand has seen a sharp decline in wild animals, currently estimated at less
than 3,000.
Yesterday the U.S. ambassador to Thailand,
Kristie Kenney, called on the nation’s government to prioritise the problem of
poachers targeting elephants in the wild.
Ms Kenney said the Thai
government needs to issue clear-cut rules and regulations in order to save the
endangered species, Pattaya Mail
reported.

Visiting an Elephant Conservation Centre in
Kanchanaburi province, Ms Kenney said it was a ‘good sign’ that Prime Minister
Yinkluck Shinawatra had pledged to take action against ivory trade, but that
further regulations to protect elephants needed to be ‘urgently addressed’.
The Asian elephant can be found across Asia
from India to Borneo. There are three subspecies spread across Asia: the
Sumatran, Sri Lankan and the Indian elephant.
It is smaller in size than it’s African
relative and has been listed as an endangered species since 1986.
The biggest threats against its population is
the destruction of the Asian elephant's natural habitats from expanding
populations and infrastructure, as well as poaching.
