         ! " !   


    The Pinnawela Elephant Orphanage, established in 1975, commenced with seven
    orphans. Today some of these orphans enjoy 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 conservation 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 regard, and in
    1984, the first baby of Pinnawela was born.
    The success story of Pinnawela has drawn the attention of scientists from all over
    the world. A considerable number of books and research articles on Pinnawela
    have been published in several languages. The members of the Pinnawela herd
    have been filmed, videoed and photographed thousands of times by professionals.
