A beautiful moment unfolded at Chokchai Elephant Camp in Mae Taeng, Chiang Mai, as the team joyfully welcomed Baby Nappa, a newborn female elephant born to her loving mother Molopo on March 19, 2025.
In the soft morning light, Baby Nappa took her first steps beside her mother, who gently guided and protected her every move. The atmosphere at the camp was filled with happiness and emotion as caretakers and veterinarians, who had been watching over Molopo for weeks, celebrated the safe and natural birth.
At present, Molopo and Nappa are staying in a quiet, secure area of the camp where they can bond naturally and adjust to their surroundings. A dedicated care team continues to monitor them closely, providing the best nutrition, comfort, and medical attention.
In the coming months, Chokchai Elephant Camp plans to introduce special educational and eco-tourism activities, allowing visitors to meet Baby Nappa and learn more about elephant care and conservation. Through her story, the camp hopes to inspire love and respect for elephants and raise awareness about the importance of protecting Thailands wildlife.
Baby Nappas birth is not only a celebration of new life its a symbol of hope, love, and the deep connection between humans and nature.
