At the sanctuary, there are currently six elephants being rehabilitated. Here, their nutritional needs and health concerns are addressed as well as their mental health. As a result of spending so much time on chains, and being denied any semblance of a natural life, the elephants developed post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Now these elephants have 32 ha. of jungle to roam, and sleep in chain free shelters.
