About Let Us Breathe

Healing the Bond Between Humans & Elephants

Let Us Breathe is a pioneering wildlife protection movement created to heal the fragile bond between humans and Sri Lanka’s majestic Asian elephants. For decades, both communities have suffered from the rising human–elephant conflict: lives lost, habitats destroyed, and a deep imbalance in our natural world.

Our work brings real, practical, and compassionate solutions to the ground. Through Mobile Elephant Hospitals, Emergency Rescue Units, Community Awareness Programs, and Youth Education Campaigns, we take life-saving care directly into the field. We move village by village, family by family, offering medical treatment, creating awareness, and building coexistence that can last for generations.

Beyond rescue and rehabilitation, Let Us Breathe stands for a bigger promise: to protect every life, restore every ecosystem, and give our elephants — the guardians of our forests — the freedom to breathe. This is not just a project. It is a movement, a responsibility, and a love letter to our land.
