About Us

Our Story, Our Mission, Our Values

Our Story

Green Trunk Sanctuary was founded in 2025 with the intention of becoming a safe haven for aging elephants.

We are a new generation dedicated to bringing modern knowledge into elephant care—especially for elderly elephants who require special attention in nutrition, supplements, and overall well-being, while still living in harmony with their natural way of life.

Our goal is to serve as a bridge, inviting everyone to take part in caring for these gentle giants. Elephants may be large, but they are kind-hearted and still need love, understanding, and helping hands.

Together, we believe we can ensure that elephants live happy, healthy lives—now and into the future.
