012: Dr. Nissa Mututanont
For so many people (including our very own Suzanne), seeing elephants in Thailand is a bucket list experience. On the latest episode of The Wild and Curious Podcast, we talked to Dr. Nissa Mututanont, the Head Elephant Veterinarian at the Golden Triangle Asian Elephant Foundation (GTAEF) and the Anantara Golden Triangle Elephant Camp & Resort. We talk about responsible animal tourism and how it’s not so black and white, what it’s like working with the mahouts (the elephant trainers who are pretty much all men), and why she loves her job.
