Kenyir Elephant Conservation Village

Description
Kenyir Elephant Conservation Village (KECV) is an attraction in the Lake Kenyir area of Terengganu. It was built in 2012 on a 256 hectare site of which 90% has been left in its natural forest state in order to provide a home for the elephant orphans who live here. The main aim of KECV is to provide a sanctuary for rescued elephants whose life in the wild in Malaysia is threatened by habitat loss and ivory poaching. Creating a tourist attraction and increasing employment for local people are secondary goals. There are currently 13 elephants at KECV. The youngest two, both females, are just 2 years old while the Grandma of the herd, named Teh, is 32.
