Please help me rescue Bamboo for Christmas! She is just a baby. Her owner wants to sell her to China. So, it's a race against the clock. My guess is that it is some roadside zoo type of thing. Whatever illegal Chinese trafficker buys her, I promise it won't be good. She is only 4 years old. She has her life in front of her. It's a life of hell in China, or she will get to spend the rest of her days chain-free, roaming 300 acres at MandaLao Elephant Conservation. So please donate to Planting Peace's Gofundme to give Bamboo the life she deserves. - Aaron Jackson / President Planting Peace

(Please note that I first tried to rescue Bamboo with well-known social media influencer Maddy Baloy, but she unfortunately lost her life to cancer. So, let us remember her life as we rescue Bamboo.)

Please help Planting Peace rescue Tiny (AKA Thong) and replace him with a tractor.

This male elephant has been forced to log trees from sunrise to sunset for roughly 55 years. It's a sad existence, but with your help, Planting Peace can buy his freedom. All funds will go toward replacing Thong with a Tractor.

The good news is that Atlanta-based company The Original Poop Bags is matching the first 5K donated. Can't thank them enough for that.

Once we secure the funds to buy the tractor, Thong will live out the rest of his days with Following Giants. An amazing org on Krabi Island in Southern Thailand. There, he will have just over 80 acres to roam. And never to be put in a logging hardness again. Please donate to secure Tiny's freedom.

Please help Tanner rescue Joy the elephant.

We found this young elephant abandoned in the woods, just chained to a tree. She was a logging elephant, but her logging harness rubbed a huge mass into her side, which forced her into an early retirement. So, her owner has abandoned her out in the middle of the woods. She is chained to a tree, stuck out there all day and night by herself. It's super sad.

The good news is that we tracked down her owner and made a deal with him to buy her freedom at a heavily discounted price due to her medical issues. Plus, her owner just wants to get out of the elephant business itself.

If we secure the funds to buy her freedom, we can move her to Mandalao Elephant Rescue. There, she will have 300 acres to roam chain-free. She will never be put in chains again, and she will never be hit with a bull hook again. She will simply get to live out the rest of her days as a happy elephant.

Put together this fundraiser for Cam and his family.

Cam was in a terrible accident on the water. His family is struggling to pay the medical bills. He really needs help. I'm sure most of us are all too familiar with the idea of not being able to afford medical care.

Please consider making a donation of any amount. I know many of us are struggling, but if you can chip in a couple of dollars...please do. - Aaron/Planting Peace

(All donations are tax-deductible.)

We did it. Thanks to all who donated; she will never be used for breeding again! We will move her over to BLES in the coming days. Any amount donated over 37,000(her rescue price) will go toward healthcare and repairing electric fencing for a night enclosure where she will have acres to roam. That way, she will never be put in chains. During the day, she will have 500 acres to roam! We're so excited to bring her to BLES. - Aaron/Planting Peace Ps... keep in touch over the coming days so you can see her rescue.

Please help rescue Mare Noi.

We have less than a week to rescue this gorgeous girl from the breeding and logging industry. Her owner is 85 years old and wants to get rid of her before he dies. We've been given first right to buy her freedom but, unfortunately, have been given less than one week to secure the funds. If not, she will be sold to another breeder.

She is roughly 40 years old and has been used her whole life to log trees and to breed.

She has been impregnated three times - suffered two miscarriages and then had a stillborn. It's a horrible life. We're not sure why they keep doing this to her outside of greed.

The good news is that if we secure Mare Noi, we have the perfect place for her to live out the rest of her days in peace.

The Organization Boon Lott’s Elephant Sanctuary - BLES

, which happens to be one of my favorite elephant organizations, has 500 acres for her to roam chain-free with 10 fellow rescues. It's a perfect place for her to live out the rest of her days.

Please help Planting Peace secure Mare Nois freedom.
