ESTATUTOS – un fragmento
CAPITULO I.- DENOMINACIÓN, DOMICILIO, ÁMBITO, FINES Y ACTIVIDADES
Art. 1º Denominación
Se constituye la Asociación denominada
ASOCIACIÓN PARA EL SOBREVIVIR DE LOS ELEFANTES EN EL MUNDO
que se acoge a lo dispuesto en la Ley Orgánica 1/2002, de 22 de marzo, reguladora del Derecho de Asociación y a la Ley 14/2008, de 18 de noviembre de Asociaciones de la Comunitat Valenciana, y al amparo de lo dispuesto en el artículo 22 de la Constitución, careciendo de ánimo de lucro.
Art. 2º Personalidad Jurídica
La Asociación tiene personalidad jurídica propia y capacidad plena de obrar para administrar y disponer de sus bienes y cumplir los fines que se propone.
Art. 3º Domicilio y ámbito de actuación
El domicilio de la Asociación se establece en BENITATXELL/ BENITACHELL, Calle Magnolias, 143, Urbanización Cumbre del Sol, código postal 03726.
La Asociación realizará principalmente sus actividades en el ámbito territorial de España, así como en Europa y el resto del mundo.
Art. 4º Fines
Constituyen los fines de la Asociación:
Los elefantes encabezan la lista de especies animales amenazadas en el mundo. Si no les ayudamos a sobrevivir, pronto se extinguirán.
Se estima que sólo unos 400.000 elefantes siguen vivos, 30.000 de ellos en Asia. Por el codiciado marfil, 30.000 elefantes son sacrificados cada año. El comercio de animales vivos con animales jóvenes, la caza de trofeos y el aumento de los conflictos entre humanos y animales constituyen una amenaza. No debemos permitir que esto ocurra.
Al menos 10.000 elefantes viven sus vidas en cautiverio. Durante horas se utilizan en condiciones de vida catastróficas (encadenados, sin apenas sombra, poca agua…) para fines turísticos y religiosos en espectáculos, circos, zoológicos.
Para entrenar a los elefantes, se les arrebata a sus madres cuando son bebés. Solos y encadenados, sin comida, son golpeados, pateados y torturados durante días hasta que se rompe su voluntad. Muchos no sobreviven a esta prueba.
Su nuevo compañero es el Bull Hook – el gancho de hierro puntiagudo. Así, el hombre mantiene el control sobre el elefante, lo que se puede observar en las orejas rasgadas y en las numerosas cicatrices de los animales maltratados.
Mucha gente no lo sabe. Por lo tanto, NOSOTROS tenemos que informar a la gente – tenemos que explicarles qué hay detrás del turismo de elefantes, qué tienen que soportar los animales, a qué tortura están expuestos.
Los elefantes son animales muy inteligentes y se parecen a los humanos en su comportamiento y en sus emociones. La tierra necesita elefantes como jardineros para la distribución de semillas y la tala de bosques. Si los elefantes están ausentes, la biodiversidad disminuye. También debemos señalar este problema.
Y NOSOTROS tenemos que sensibilizar especialmente a nuestros jóvenes y niños -como guardianes de su futuro- para que pongan esta responsabilidad sobre sus hombros.
Art.5º Actividades
Para el cumplimiento de los fines enumerados en el artículo anterior, se realizarán las siguientes actividades:
Para ello damos conferencias, por ejemplo, en escuelas y otras instituciones públicas – mostramos la realidad a menudo brutal, pero también cómo se puede apoyar el incipiente cambio de conciencia en Asia – con nuestros propios documentales de cine y fotografía.
En los stands informativos de las ferias adecuadas, proporcionamos información y mostramos lo que cada uno puede hacer, cómo cada uno puede ayudar.
Animamos a los niños y a los adultos a asumir la responsabilidad de un elefante, por ejemplo, a través del apadrinamiento de un elefante. Para esto damos actualizaciones regulares por correo, para que los padrinos también puedan experimentar la vida de su protegido, puede seguir (también por videos en vivo en Facebook).
Proporcionamos material didáctico preparado pedagógicamente para el tratamiento del tema en clase para su descarga gratuita y estamos encantados de asesorar a los profesores.
Para los viajeros, en nuestra página web sólo nos referimos a los campamentos en los que los elefantes son tratados de forma adecuada y que también pueden ser experimentados en vivo. También proporcionamos volantes para este propósito.
Nuestra página web: www.heart4Elephants.com informa sobre la situación mundial actual y los problemas de los elefantes. También se representan los Tipps y las posibilidades de asistencia. También estamos representados en Facebook e Instagram.
El multilingüismo de nuestra página web – español, inglés, alemán – nos permite actuar a nivel internacional. A corto plazo, también pretendemos cooperar con las organizaciones españolas correspondientes, como FAADA.
A través de nuestra educación, a través de sus donaciones de tipo financiero y/o material, NOSOTROS podemos ayudar a los elefantes a salir del negocio del turismo y finalmente disfrutar de una vida en gran medida apropiada para las especies en una asociación amorosa con su rebaño, su parte restante de la vida. Así es como aseguramos su supervivencia.
NOSOTROS sólo apoyamos proyectos que garanticen la protección de las especies y que sean amigables con los elefantes y que nos conozcamos a nosotros mismos.

Association statutes –
in extracts – (translated with Deepl)
CHAPTER I. – NAME, SEAT, SCOPE, OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Art. 1 Name
The Association called ASSOCIATION FOR THE SURVIVAL OF ELEPHANTS IN THE WORLD is established under the provisions of Organic Law 1/2002, of March 22, regulating the Law of Associations, and Law 14/2008, of November 18, on Associations in the Valencian Community, and under the protection of the provisions of Article 22 of the Constitution, without profit.
Art. 2 Legal status
The association has its own legal personality and is fully capable of acting to manage and dispose of its assets and achieve its objectives.
Art. 3 Domicile and area of responsibility
The address of the association is BENITATXELL/ BENITACHELL, Calle Magnolias, 143, Urb. Cumbre del Sol, zip code 03726.
The association will carry out its activities mainly in Spain, but also in Europe and the rest of the world.
Art. 4 Goals
These are the goals of the association:
Elephants are high on the list of the world’s endangered species. If we don’t help them survive, they will soon be extinct.
There are only an estimated 400,000 elephants still alive, 30,000 of them in Asia. Every year, 30,000 elephants are slaughtered for the coveted ivory. The live animal trade in young animals, trophy hunting, and increasing human-wildlife conflicts pose threats. We must not allow this to happen.
At least 10,000 elephants spend their lives in captivity. For hours they are used in shows, circuses and zoos for tourist and religious purposes under catastrophic living conditions (chained, hardly any shade, little water…).
To train elephants, they are taken away from their mothers when they are still babies. Alone and chained, without food, they are beaten, kicked and tortured for days until their will is broken. Many do not survive this ordeal.
Your new companion is the Bull Hook – the pointed iron hook. In this way, humans maintain control over the elephant, which can be seen in the torn ears and numerous scars of the mistreated animals.
Many people do not know this. That is why WE have to inform people – we have to explain to them what is behind elephant tourism, what the animals have to endure, what tortures they are exposed to.
Elephants are very intelligent animals and are similar to humans in their behavior and emotions. Earth needs elephants as gardeners for seed distribution and forest clearing. If there are no more elephants, biodiversity will decline. We must also point out this problem.
And WE, above all, must sensitize our young people and children – as guardians of their future – to take this responsibility on their shoulders.
Art. 5 Activities
The following activities shall be carried out to achieve the objectives set forth in the preceding article:
For this purpose we give lectures, e.g. in schools and other public institutions – we show the often brutal reality, but also how the beginning change of consciousness in Asia can be supported – with our own film and photo documentations.
At information booths at appropriate trade fairs, we provide information and show what everyone can do, how everyone can help.
We encourage children and adults to take responsibility for an elephant, for example by adopting an elephant. For this we give regular updates by mail, so that the godparents can also experience the life of their protégé (also through live videos on Facebook).
We provide pedagogically prepared teaching material for the treatment of the topic in the classroom for free download and are happy to advise teachers.
For travelers, we only refer to camps on our website where elephants are treated appropriately and can also be experienced live. For this purpose, we also provide leaflets.
Our website: www.heart4Elephants.com informs about the current world situation and the problems of elephants. Tips and ways to help are also presented. We are also present on Facebook and Instagram.
The multilingualism of our website – Spanish, English, German – allows us to operate on an international level. In the short term, we also intend to work with relevant Spanish organizations such as FAADA.
Through our education, through your monetary and/or in-kind donations, WE can help the elephants get out of the tourism business and finally enjoy a largely species-appropriate life in a loving partnership with their herd, their remaining part of life. In this way, we ensure their survival.
WE only support projects that ensure the protection of species and that are elephant-friendly and that we know ourselves.

STATUTS – un extrait (traduit avec DEEPL)
CHAPITRE I.- NOM, DOMICILE, CHAMP D’APPLICATION, BUTS ET ACTIVITÉS
Art. 1 Nom
L’Association dénommée ASSOCIATION POUR LA SURVIE DES ELEPHANTS DANS LE MONDE est constituée conformément aux dispositions de la Loi Organique 1/2002, du 22 mars, régissant le droit d’association et de la Loi 14/2008, du 18 novembre, sur les associations de la Communauté de Valence, et sous la protection des dispositions de l’article 22 de la Constitution, sans but lucratif.
Art. 2 Statut juridique
L’Association a une personnalité juridique propre et la pleine capacité d’agir pour administrer et disposer de ses biens et pour réaliser les objectifs qu’elle se propose d’atteindre.
Art. 3 Domicile et champ d’action
L’adresse de l’association est BENITATXELL/ BENITACHELL, Calle Magnolias, 143, Urbanización Cumbre del Sol, code postal 03726.
L’Association exercera principalement ses activités en Espagne, ainsi qu’en Europe et dans le reste du monde.
Art. 4 – Objectifs
Les objectifs de l’Association sont les suivants
Les éléphants sont en tête de la liste des espèces animales menacées dans le monde. Si nous ne les aidons pas à survivre, ils disparaîtront bientôt.
On estime que seuls 400 000 éléphants sont encore en vie, dont 30 000 en Asie. Pour l’ivoire tant convoité, 30 000 éléphants sont massacrés chaque année. Le commerce de jeunes animaux vivants, la chasse aux trophées et l’augmentation des conflits entre l’homme et l’animal constituent une menace. Nous ne devons pas permettre que cela se produise.
Au moins 10 000 éléphants vivent leur vie en captivité. Pendant des heures, ils sont utilisés dans des conditions de vie catastrophiques (enchaînés, avec peu d’ombre, peu d’eau…) à des fins touristiques et religieuses dans des spectacles, des cirques et des zoos.
Pour dresser les éléphants, on les enlève à leur mère lorsqu’ils sont bébés. Seuls et enchaînés, sans nourriture, ils sont battus, frappés et torturés pendant des jours jusqu’à ce que leur volonté soit brisée. Beaucoup ne survivent pas à cette épreuve.
Leur nouveau compagnon est le Bull Hook – le crochet de fer pointu. Ainsi, l’homme garde le contrôle sur l’éléphant, ce qui se voit dans les oreilles arrachées et les nombreuses cicatrices des animaux maltraités.
Beaucoup de gens ne le savent pas. C’est pourquoi nous devons informer les gens – nous devons leur expliquer ce qui se cache derrière le tourisme des éléphants, ce que les animaux doivent endurer, les tortures auxquelles ils sont exposés.
Les éléphants sont des animaux très intelligents et ressemblent aux humains dans leur comportement et leurs émotions. La terre a besoin des éléphants comme jardiniers pour la distribution des semences et le défrichage des forêts. Si les éléphants sont absents, la biodiversité diminue. Il faut également souligner ce problème.
Et NOUS devons sensibiliser en particulier nos jeunes et nos enfants – en tant que guardiens de leur avenir – pour qu’ils prennent cette responsabilité sur leurs épaules.
