| • | The Elephant Sanctuary in Hohenwald, Tennessee, is the nation's largest natural-habitat refuge developed specifically to meet the needs of endangered elephants. It was founded in 1995 as the United States' first elephant refuge, it is a non-profit organization, licensed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency, designed specifically for old, sick or needy elephants who have been retired from zoos and circuses. Utilizing more than 2700 acres, it provides two separate and protected, natural habitat environments for Asian and African elephants.
The Elephant Sanctuary was founded by Carol Buckley, who is the Executive Director and Scott Blais who is the Facilities Director. The inspiration for the sanctuary was co-founder Carol Buckley's lifetime experience with her personal elephant Tarra.
