Love and care is a natural virtue in human character. This human virtue changes its symptoms by period or circumstances in human character. As human grows from childhood and reaches to teenage or gets adults then this loving and caring nature does not remain in everyone. When people have this nature in their adulthood then they try to show their mercy and kindness to support not only to pity humans but also to animals as well. Especially to those animals that have faced cruelty from those humans who are not kind enough or are helpless under their poverty circumstances. There are many people and organizations that are on active form in the world those support animals, their species, and their rights to preserve their lives and trying to give them a natural environment to live freely. SOS Elephant Sanctuary (Wildlife SOS - Elephant Conservation and Care Center) is one of them that is preserving Rescued Elephant and caring for them in natural habitats.
