Elephant orphanage
An elephant orphanage is a facility dedicated to caring for young elephants that have lost their parents, often due to poaching, human-wildlife conflict, or natural causes. These sanctuaries provide a safe environment where infants can receive rehabilitation, medical attention, and emotional support. They also educate visitors about elephant conservation. The goal is to nurture and eventually reintegrate the elephants into their natural habitats or ensure lifelong care if reintroduction isn't possible. Such sanctuaries play a vital role in protecting elephants and promoting awareness about the threats they face in the wild.
