C
In both Africa and Asia, elephants are in great danger because of changes in their natural habitat(栖息地) caused by human activities. Now, there is one place called the Elephant Transit Home (ETH) where elephants are not only protected but also respected.
Set up in 1995, the ETH aims to protect and care for baby elephants that are found hurt or living without their mothers in the wild. Every year, about 30 baby elephants in Sri Lanka are brought to the ETH. There, they are given food, shelter and medical care, and most importantly, the chance to be with other elephants and become part of the herd(象群).
During the day, each baby will drink an average of 13 gallons of milk. The ETH spends about 125,000 each year on powdered milk for the baby elephants. As they grow older, the elephants are fed mostly coconut leaves and other native plants and are allowed to walk around, eating the grass and forming a herd.
The ETH workers often try to increase connections between the elephants. It usually takes three years for a baby elephant to be set free into the natural habitat together with other orphans(孤儿), with whom it has bonded(建立关系). This helps them return to the wild as members of the herd that will communicate with each other and take care of each other.
The ETH is considered one of the best animal protection sites in the world. Not only are the elephants looked after, but they’re treated with respect. Best of all, they can go back to live in the wild, where they belong.
