Elephant Transit Home Udawalawe National Park, Sri Lanka
The Udawalawe Elephant Transfer Home is a facility within Udawalawe National Park in Sri Lanka that was established in 1995 by the Sri Lanka Department of Wildlife Conservation. Its primary objective is to rehabilitate orphaned elephant calves for ultimate release back into the wild.
The main objective of this facility is rehabilitation of orphaned baby elephants to ultimately release them back into their natural habitat. Up to three elephants per week are killed in Sri Lanka due to conflicts with humans, often leaving behind orphan calves.[1] The elephants are kept at part of the Udawalawe National Park to maintain familiarity with their habitat, but have access to both food and medical care.
All care at the facility is by trained staff, and efforts are made to minimize contact between elephants and humans to keep the elephants from becoming acclimated to humans. Although visitors can watch the elephants being fed, they are not allowed to touch or otherwise interact with them.

The Government of Sri Lanka established an elephant orphanage in Pinnawela in the year 1975 to care for such abandoned and orphaned elephants and their numbers have grown ever since. Today Pinnawela is home for over 80 captive elephants, and is thought to be largest captive herd in the world.
Caring and feeding such a large number of elephants is but a huge task itself. Alternatively the Government in the year 1995 created the Elephant Transit Home [ETH] in Uda Walawe [Sinhala – Eth Athuru Sevana] with the idea of caring and bringing up baby elephants found abandoned in the wild until they could be released back to the wild devoid of bringing up them in captivity.
The Elephant Transit Home in Uda Walawe is loved by many and is visited by many to see these calves being given milk as feed four times a day; at 9 am, 12 noon, 3 pm and 6 pm. It is only during these times that the general public get a chance to see them. The rest of the time they spend in the confines out of the view of people in a areas adjacent to the reservoir in the thicket.

Video- We Donated to Udawalawe Elephant Orphanage with your help
It was a sunny day when we arrived at the Udawalawe Elephant Orphanage for a donation of Milk powder packets recommended for baby elephants that are kept here.
There are around 45 elephants kept under the protection of wildlife authorities and the orphanage officials. Young elephants that live here are mostly the ones that don't have a herd or those who are too young to join a new herd.
Most of these elephants are kept here till they grow up to join a new herd. This is very important as many elephants do not get the natural protection even inside a herd as many elephant parents are completely occupied.

SRI LANKA VLOG #15 - UDAWALAWE ELEPHANT TRANSIT HOME
#SriLanka #TurtleHatchery #Udawalawe
Today was a different day. In the morning we visited an Elephant Transit Home, Baby elephants that lost their parents live in this place until they are 5 years old, and then they are released in the wild again. This facility is in Udawalawe National Park.
In the afternoon we went to Kosgoda to visit Victor Hasselblad Sea Turtle Research And Conservation Centre. They buy turtle eggs in the black market and help them hatch and later release them in the ocean. THey keep a few to study, the blind, the albino and those who are born with deficiency.
We wild coment about these two facilities in another video, later. Understand that nobody is perfect and these facilities pretend to make good for the animals. Depending, on the person you are walking with, this might be true or not.
