Elephant Venue Assessment
ACES assists elephant camps and tourism operators in improving the elephant care standards to align with local culture and international best practices. Assessing camp performance is a priority as it helps evaluate their current status and prepares them for ACES certification.
ELEPHANT FACILITY PERFORMANCE ASSESSMENT
ACES plays a crucial role in supporting elephant camps and tourism operators by helping them enhance their standards of elephant care. This alignment is not only with the rich traditions of
the local culture but also with international best practices that prioritize the well-being of these magnificent animals. One of ACES's key objectives is to assess the performance of these camps thoroughly. This assessment not only provides insights into their current operational status but also serves as a preparatory step for achieving ACES certification, ensuring that the camps meet the highest standards for elephant care, welfare and management.
