Imagine a place where elephants get second chances at life – that’s the Pinnawala Elephant Orphanage in Sri Lanka! Founded in 1975, this sanctuary started by rescuing orphaned baby elephants left vulnerable in the wild. Now, it’s also a safe haven for adults who’ve faced injuries, illness, or old age.
Staff here don’t just feed and care for these gentle giants; they’ve even pioneered captive breeding to protect Asia’s endangered elephant population. From playful calves splashing in rivers to elders munching on palm leaves, every resident has a story.
Join CGTN’s Liu Jiaxin for an inside look at how compassion meets conservation. Spoiler alert: You’ll want to book a flight to Sri Lanka ASAP!
