2. Sri Lankan elephants (Elephas maximus maximus) are an endangered species and their survival in their natural habitats is threatened due to human activities. Elephants in the wild are constantly being killed, and many elephant calves become orphaned. In order to support these orphaned elephants, the Department of Wildlife Conservation set up the Elephant Transit Home within Udawalawe National Park with help from the Born Free Foundation. [2] The facility was established under the 29th Amendment to the Fauna and Flora Protection Ordinance Part II. [3] As of 8 February 2009, 39 orphaned elephant calves were being looked after. [4] The elephant calves are released to the jungle after they become strong enough to survive in their natural habitats. As of 2008, sixty-five elephants had been released to the jungle.

About Udawalawa

Udawalawe is a national park and reservoir in southern Sri Lanka, known for elephants that gather on open grassland and for rich birdlife.

Udawalawe National Park lies in the dry zone of southern Sri Lanka, on the plain where the Walawe River has been dammed to form the Udawalawe Reservoir.

Its open country makes animals easy to see.
