The Elephant Transit Home owned by the Department of Wild Life Conservation (DWLC) also known as the ‘Ath Athuru Sevana’ is taking care of the baby elephants. Once cared for, they are released to the wilds when they reach a certain age. Pix by Pradeep Dilrukshana

It is admirable to care for these animals which is an asset to Sri Lanka.How ever our train drivers don't show any care at all.Either they sleep or are drunk while on duty. Please educate them to realise the great asset we have.

Please spare some forest for these giants to live.

Where is this place ? Can it be visited.

This is great work. Bless the people who look after them.

The is very nice to see and hear. I hope the elephants at Pinnawela too can be released into the wild to lead their natural life.

come on how can u blame it on train drivers? So you reckon the trains should slow down. Do you think trains can slow down that easily?
