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.
