captive elephant management

Captive elephant management involves caring for elephants kept in controlled environments such as zoos, sanctuaries, or parks. It focuses on providing proper housing, nutrition, healthcare, and enrichment to promote physical and mental well-being. Managers monitor behavior to prevent stress or health issues and may use training techniques to facilitate medical care. Ethical management aims to ensure elephants live comfortably, with their social needs respected, while balancing conservation efforts and public education. Proper management minimizes negative impacts of captivity and supports the long-term health and welfare of these intelligent animals.
