The National Elephant Center, a collaborative project supported by elephant-holding institutions across the country, aims to build a $4 million, 326-acre facility for the conservation and management of both African and Asian elephants. Following setbacks for the facility's construction in St. Lucie County last January, the group is looking to locate itself in Fellsmere Country. The first phase includes "25 acres [with] a large barn with attached paddocks, a keeper work center and four interconnected pastures ranging from 4 to 5 acres each. Each pasture has ponds, mud wallows, dust bathing areas and shade, among other features."
More information regarding the facility's plans can be found at their website.

I eagerly anticipate associating with new individuals with an interest or history in elephants, elephant history and elephant record keeping. If you have further information regarding the animals or locations questioned in the article, please leave a comment or message me in an effort to complete their records for elephant historians.
