Severe flooding in northern Thailand has impacted the Elephant Nature Park in Chiang Mai, leading to the evacuation of approximately 100 elephants, with 13 still trapped. The floods, described as the most severe in the park's history, were intensified by torrential monsoon rains and remnants of tropical cyclones, causing the river to overflow. Founder Saengduean Chailert reported that the rapid rise in water levels made evacuation efforts particularly challenging, with staff and volunteers working tirelessly to save the animals. Although many elephants have found temporary safety on higher ground, the situation remains precarious as rising waters threaten them again. Authorities have dispatched rescue teams and are coordinating to procure boats to assist with ongoing evacuations. The regional disaster has also led to significant devastation in Myanmar, highlighting the broader impact of extreme weather in the area.
