The safe return to Thailand from Sri Lanka of the ailing Thai elephant, Sak Surin, which is known in Sri Lanka as Muthu Raja, on July 2 would not have been possible without the collective efforts of several individuals and agencies.
Among those who made it possible are the Minister of Natural Resources and Environment Varawut Silpa-archa, the Department of National Parks, Wildlife and Conservation, the Forest Industry Organization, and the Thai embassy in Colombo.
