This thread is to propose the transfer and relocation of African elephants within North America to enable institutions to either develop a matriarchal herd, to provide other institutions with additional elephants, or to retire older elephants to specialized facilities or sanctuaries.
With 223 Asian elephants in North America plus the importaion of 6 more Asian Elephants 2 males and 4 females, there are a limited number of accredited and non accredited institutions that can accommodate Asian elephants. Of those institutions, many possess the adequate standards for the care and husbandry of Asian elephants while others keep elephants in conditions that are substandard. Here are the changes made by the recommendations of transferring or relocating Asian elephants to other institutions.

Ultimately, the transfer and relocation of Asian elephants within North America will enable the reproduction of Asian elephants to become successful, the retirement of older elephants to sanctuaries or institutions for specialized care, and the development of matriarchal and bachelor herds to promote naturalistic social structures.
( Note that I'm only 14 so any ideas that sound naïve or childish is because of my age because I don't have a lot experience)
With 223 Asian elephants in North America plus the importaion of 6 more Asian Elephants 2 males and 4 females, there are a limited number of accredited and non accredited institutions that can accommodate Asian elephants. Of those institutions, many possess the adequate standards for the care and husbandry of Asian elephants while others keep elephants in conditions that are substandard. Here are the changes made by the recommendations of transferring or relocating Asian elephants to other institutions.
