The Kuala Gandah Elephant Conservation Centre is an elephant sanctuary located in Temerloh in the state of Pahang, Malaysia.〔 within the Krau Game Reserve.〔 The Centre was established in 1989 by the Malaysian Department of Wildlife and National Parks, and forms a base for the Elephant Relocation Team, which since 1974 has been rescuing problem Asian elephants whose habitats are being lost to cultivation or development.〔 and relocating them to suitable habitats such as Taman Negara.〔 The Centre also aims to raise public awareness and support research, and has increasingly become a popular tourist attraction〔 since its existence began to be publicised in 1997.〔 Visitors to the Centre are shown a video, then watch the elephants being washed and fed. This is followed by riding on an elephant and being given the chance to go into the river with a few elephants. Daily visitor admissions are subject to strict quotas and advance booking is strongly recommended.〔 ==Gallery== File:US Navy 080819-N-4005H-078 Sailors assigned to the Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS Ronald Reagan (CVN 76) feed an elephant at the Kuala Gandah Elephant Sanctuary.jpg|Visitors feeding an elephant File:US Navy 080819-N-4005H-201 Sailors assigned to the Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS Ronald Reagan (CVN 76) ride an elephant.jpg|Elephant rides File:US Navy 080820-N-4009P-282 Sailors assigned to the Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS Ronald Reagan (CVN 76) and other tourists help bathe two Asian elephants.jpg|Helping to bathe elephants 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kuala Gandah Elephant Conservation Centre」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
