The Elephant Sanctuary in Tennessee is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that provides a natural habitat refuge for Asian and African elephants, offering lifetime care and support. The sanctuary is licensed by the USDA and the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency.
The organization educates the public about the complex needs of elephants and the challenges they face in the wild, including poaching, habitat loss, and capture. The elephants' habitats are closed to the public, but visitors can engage through the Elephant Discovery Center in Hohenwald and via distance learning programs.
Open to the public: day visits, a visitor centre, guided walks.
