In addition to the new expansive elephant habitat, the Cincinnati Zoo is playing a leadership role in developing and implementing the AZA SAFE Asian Elephant program. This project is a conservation initiative between associated AZA facilities and partner organizations to ensure the Asian elephant’s survival as a species. Funds raised from Cincinnati Zoo’s behind-the-scenes elephant tours supports the International Elephant Foundation(IEF). In Sumatra, elephants and people often come into conflict when elephants wander into human settlements. These elephants are often relocated to a Sumatran Elephant Conservation Center. Support from the Zoo through the IEF provides supplies and training to ensure that the elephants are cared for properly.
Elephants are herd animals who roam miles each day in search of food and water. To keep a herd like this living on what could be referred to as a postage stamp will likely lead to zoochosis. Cruel practice lead by profit. Boycott zoos, free Lucy.
