The Elephant Sanctuary

The Elephant Sanctuary is a safe haven located in Grass Valley, California, dedicated to the care and rehabilitation of aging and abused elephants. Founded in 1995, it provides a natural environment where elephants can roam freely and engage in social behaviors. The sanctuary focuses on the well-being of each elephant, offering medical care, enrichment activities, and space to live in a herd. Its mission is to educate the public about the challenges elephants face in captivity and promote conservation efforts to protect them in the wild. The sanctuary does not allow public interaction, prioritizing the elephants' welfare.
