For the past few months, a wounded wild elephant has found refuge near Heritance Kandalama and in partnership with the Department of Wildlife Conservation, we continue to assist in his treatment, coordinating care, providing resources and doing all we can to give this gentle giant a chance to heal. Because protecting the wild isn’t just part of our story, it’s our responsibility.
