elephant sanctuary
Giant's protected home
An elephant sanctuary is a protected habitat where elephants—often rescued from circuses, zoos, or abusive conditions—live out their lives with minimal human interference.
Unlike zoos, sanctuaries prioritize the animals' wellbeing over public viewing: The retired circus elephant was relocated to a sanctuary in Tennessee.
The term sometimes applies to wild reserves protecting elephants from poaching.
