Elephant rescue involves efforts to save and rehabilitate elephants that are in distress due to poaching, habitat loss, or abuse. Organizations often work to provide safe environments where these elephants can recover and live freely. They may also focus on educating the public about the importance of protecting elephants and their natural habitats. Rescue operations typically include medical care, food, and shelter for the elephants. Many rescues also aim to release elephants back into the wild when possible, ensuring they can thrive in their natural ecosystems. Collaboration with local communities is essential for the success of these initiatives.
