At barely 5 feet tall and in stark contrast to the enormous creatures that reside at the Elephant Nature Park in Chiang Mai, Sangduen “Lek” (Thai for “small”) Chailert easily stands tall among them. But what she lacks in stature, she more than makes up for in passion and perseverance. The founder of Save Elephant Foundation (www.saveelephant.org ), Lek has spent the past 35 years rescuing and advocating on behalf of animals, most notably the Asian elephant.
