A place to rest for one of the most majestic animals on earth.
Elephant Haven, a European Elephant Sanctuary is a safe space for the resocialization and rehabilitation of captivated elephants.
While fortunately more and more European countries are banning wildlife in circuses there are still more than 100 elephants in captivity around Europe.
Once freed relocation to their country of origin is not always an option…
That’s where the nonprofit steps in… To offer those beautiful creatures a home away from home.
A place where they can roam free, unchained and unbothered.
A place where they can resolve trauma’s, learn to trust again and reconnect with their species after years of isolation.
With the main focus on caring for the Elephants, EHEES also aims to develop educational and informational programs about Elephants and their behaviors, the local fauna and flora and encourage a re-connection with Nature.
The sanctuary is located in the Perigold-Limousin Regional Park in the Southwest of France. Where the first 2 inhabitants, Gandhi and Delhi, have about 70 acres of gentle rolling hills to explore.
