Kuala Gandah Elephant Sanctuary The National
Department of Wildlife and National Parks established the Kuala Gandah
Elephant Sanctuary in 1989. The center is geared towards the plight of the
endangered Malaysian elephant. Elephants are tracked down, sedated and
relocated from their natural habitat that have been encroached by human
developments, namely plantations. The captured wild elephants are then
relocated to National Parks. Over the past 25 years the efforts of the
Elephant Sanctuary has helped prevent the further decline of the elephant
population by relocating more than 500 wild elephants. The center also takes
in orphaned and abandoned elephants.
The sanctuary is a popular destination for visitors as they get to participate in
activities like feeding and grooming the elephants. They can also help bathe
them in the nearby river. Admission to the Elephant Sanctuary is free,
however donations towards the upkeep of the elephants is greatly
appreciated. At the visitor information center, you can find out more about the
center's elephant conservation efforts. There is also a very interesting video
presentation. The center's activities take place between 1-4pm.
