Elephant orphanages are facilities dedicated to caring for young elephants that have been orphaned due to poaching, habitat loss, or other human-related activities. These sanctuaries provide a safe environment where the elephants can grow, learn, and develop social skills with other elephants. In addition to offering shelter and food, elephant orphanages often focus on rehabilitation and eventual release into the wild. They educate the public about the importance of wildlife conservation and the threats facing elephants, aiming to raise awareness and support for the protection of these magnificent creatures.
