Sincerely,
Carol Buckley & Scott Blais Founding Directors Ned was the second elephant confiscated by the USDA, and was placed with the Sanctuary in November. His arrival was intended to be short-term, but health concerns have extended his stay in our Quarantine facility. We are delighted to have him with us!

The Year In Review We began 2008 with a watchful eye on Delhi, our dear “granny,” who at age 62 was beginning to show signs that her body could no longer keep pace with her enduring spirit. Her gradual departure began on January 17, when caregivers noticed Delhi had taken an unusually long nap, sleeping comfortably on a pile of soft shavings in her favorite stall. When her slumber stretched for nearly 10 hours undisturbed, we enlisted veterinary care to monitor her vitals, which over the next many weeks remained surprisingly stable. Delhi (left) passed away on March 11. Her dignity and enduring spirit continued to amaze us right to the end. Delhi would continue this irregular “sleeping Happily, Delhi’s devoted companion Misty (right) has now beauty” routine until January 31, when she found a new best friend in Dulary. lowered her aging body to her sleeping spot Less than 3 weeks after we buried Delhi, we for the final time. Surprisingly, Delhi did not could never have imagined Queenie would pass away, but stayed with us, although in a suddenly leave us, too. By all accounts, she was a reclined position, for nearly six weeks. We healthy 49-year old elephant in her prime, with knew she was preparing to leave us, and true a lovely disposition and melodic “squeak-squeak” to Delhi’s nature, she was letting us know she vocalization we had all come to adore.

Minnie and Lottie, Debbie with begun to show a curious affection for Tarra’s Ronnie, and the devoted “3sum” Billie, Frieda dog, Bella. and Liz, are all constant companions. Because Minnie’s dominant behavior can still create occasional stress for Debbie, we have developed a system of pasture rotation, providing the Girls with the separation they desire, and the opportunity for them to mingle over the fence while having full access to the different ponds, woods and vegetation. Debbie and Ronnie broadened their explorations a bit further this year—one day reaching all the way to the fence line at the African habitat, much to Zula’s excitement when she spotted them.

Lizzie spent many more hours splashing in the creeks and ponds this year—she seems to be feeling as good as she looks. Frieda’s foot soaks continue for her osteomyelitis and her tendency to colic has responded well to a regime of probiotic paste, which she accepts readily. Overall, her pampering seems to agree with her and she’s doing wonderfully.

This past year, Tange and Zula spent more time immersed in their “wild side,” exploring the habitat and choosing to sleep under the Tange and Flora enjoyed more personal playtime together this year. stars.

Program Areas
The Elephant Sanctuary encompasses 2,700 acres, making it the nation’s largest natural habitat refuge developed to meet the special needs of elephants. Since it was founded in 1995, one male and twenty female Asian elephants, and three female African elephants have called the Sanctuary home.
Education about elephants and the crisis they face is a critical component of The Elephant Sanctuary’s mission. We reach millions of people annually through the internet, video teleconferencing, live streaming video, the media, and documentaries about our work. Sanctuary staff also conduct outreach education in the U.S. and overseas.
Video teleconferencing continues in schools across the country.
www.elephants.com Our award-winning web site provides a wealth of information about our work and the status of elephants around the world. Our site offers program descriptions and updates, downloadable educational materials, and links to current elephant welfare information. www.tappedintoelephants.com uses live streaming video to provide an around-the-clock window into Sanctuary life, enabling visitors to observe the elephants without disturbing them. It continues to attract over 20 million hits a year.
Volunteer Day Program In 2008, hundreds of volunteers participated in our Volunteer Day Program. The Volunteer Day Program allows individuals and groups to be directly involved in the Sanctuary’s growth while immersing themselves in an inspiring wilderness setting. Volunteers also assist in the administrative office and in our outreach education booth. The Sanctuary hosts several groups of college students who spend a week each Spring as part of their Alternative Spring Break program. Forgoing vacation time, these groups tackle projects both large and small and participate in a closing day informational session with Sanctuary Directors.
Research Experts are conducting research on Post Traumatic Stress Disorder in elephants, and the Sanctuary is at the forefront of these efforts. The data we compile and share is essential for diagnosis and treatment of this recently-recognized disorder in elephants.
8 The Elephant Sanctuary in Tennessee International Elephant Assistance The Elephant Sanctuary’s international focus continues to support programs that successfully benefit captive and wild elephants in their native lands.
Mobile Elephant Care Program This year the Sanctuary continued its support of this highly successful Mobile Elephant Care Program in India. This collaborative effort was created by Dr. Christy Williams, elephant researcher, and The Elephant Sanctuary. It provides free medical treatment from a licensed veterinarian for elephants that would otherwise go without, and has proven to be extremely beneficial for captive elephants in need of routine or emergency medical care. The Elephant Nature Park The Sanctuary continues to lend its support to Thailand’s only refuge for abused and abandoned Asian elephants. For more information, visit http://www.elephantnaturepark.org

Expanding our boundaries As we entered our fourteenth year, we realized that what started as a modest attempt to help a few needy elephants has grown to encompass the welfare of elephants living in captivity worldwide. The Elephant Sanctuary’s ability to impact the lives of captive elephants here and abroad brings us hope that one day elephants living in captivity will be afforded a healthier existence in more natural surroundings. If we will not allow this ancient species true freedom by protecting their homelands, then providing them with a reasonable facsimile is mandatory. We are grateful for the vital support from so many people who have helped us come this far, and we hope you will continue the journey with us as we work to serve this magnificent species.
