Sri Lankan elephants (Elephas maximus maximus) are considered as an endangered species and their survival in their natural habitats is threatened due to human activities. Consequently elephants in the wild are constantly being killed and many elephant calves become orphaned. Therefore in 1995, Department of Wildlife Conservation in Sri Lanka, in an attempt to support the orphaned calves from the other areas of the island, set up the Elephant Transit Centre (ETC) within Udawalawe National Park itself with the support of Born Free Foundation. The park was established under the 29th Amendment to the Fauna and Flora Protection Ordinance Part II Currently 39 orphaned elephant calves are being looked after.
