Dr. Susan Mikota, Elephant Care International co-founder and Director of Veterinary Programs and Research, spent several weeks in India earlier this year with the Wildlife SOS team! "Working together, they provided practical training towards elephant care to government veterinarians and students from College of Veterinary Science, Guwahati. A two-day knowledge-oriented Elephant Health Care Workshop preceded the on-field training at the camp, where new techniques for treatments were shared. The practical application of these techniques at the camp enabled the group to provide medical care to as many as 80 elephants used for anti-poaching efforts and patrolling duties across Kaziranga National Park & Tiger Reserve, Merapani Forest Reserve in Golaghat and Manas National Park & Tiger Reserve."
