The Pinnawela Elephant
Orphanage : The Pinnawela Elephant Orphanage, established

orphans enjoys the fortune of seeing their grandchildren born
in the same location. The original objective of establishing
the orphanage inclined more towards tourism, but is soon
became a conversation and educational centre. With the help of
local and foreign elephant experts, Pinnawela started a
scientific captive-breeding programme for elephants. The free
movement of the herd enhanced the chances for respective
individuals of both sexes to get together and mate. The nearby
river played a dominant role in this regards, and in 1984, the
first baby of Pinnawela was born.
The success story of Pinnawela

Almost considerable number of books and research articles on

photographed thousands of times by professionals.
