Established in 1995, The Elephant Sanctuary in Tennessee is the nation's largest natural-habitat refuge dedicated to African and Asian elephants. It sits on 3,060 acres in Hohenwald, Tennessee, and offers individualized care and herd companionship to captive elephants, creating a safe haven focused on their well-being. In addition to ongoing elephant care, the sanctuary aims to raise public awareness of the complex needs of elephants in captivity and the threats they face in the wild. A notable recent development is the 2026 launch of a themed license plate to celebrate its 30th anniversary. The organization operates within the environmental services sector, pursuing education and advocacy alongside its conservation work.
