Children watch in awe as an Asian Elephant (chang in Thai) opens his 
mouth during a “People-Elephant-Forest” talk for school children 
conducted by the Thai Elephant Research and Conservation Fund (TERF) 
in Cham Pak Paew temple in Thailand’s Suraburi province, 150 
kilometers North of Bangkok, as part of an educational effort to 
promote elephant conservation during the fourth day of the 
Greenpeace-led Change Caravan. The Chang(e) Caravan, a march for 
change by people and elephants rehabilitated by TERF, is on its fourth 
day of traversing Thailand’s Central Plains to tell the story of 
climate change impacts to communities, and to gather support for 
calling on world leaders, particularly United States President Obama, 
for an ambitious, fair and binding climate deal in Southeast Asia, and 
to make available necessary funds to protect Southeast Asia’s natural 
forests, to ensure the future of the region, its biodiversity and its 
people.
