Gentle Giants Nonprofit is a NGO developed, founded and led by two women; for the protection of the endangered species Elephas maximus; support of Thailand's indigenous peoples & communities; the preservation of Thailand's forests; and conservation of the environment.
Diana & Colby have both been strong, long time advocates for animals/elephants. They have both helped & supported numerous organizations in the elephant community.
Diana's dear friend Lek Chailert approached her, when the Covid crisis hit Thailand, asking how we could help 100's of captive elephants & their human families which were forced to walk back home as tourism came to a screeching hault. The elephants were starving as their was no income to feed them. Hence, Gentle Giants Elephants was born. You can learn more here

Today, Lek continues to be at the forefront of elephant (and other animal rights causes), raising international awareness and encouraging other countries in the region to follow her lead, as well as helping provide sustainable alternatives to local villages. At the same time, she maintains special relationships with the animals she rescues. Most days, she can be found at Elephant Nature Park spending time with the rescued herd." ~ SEF
