$Pinnawela. Sri Lanka-july 23-2015: The Pinnawella Elephant Orphanage is a foundation under the institutions of Sri Lanka.\n\nIt was created in 1975 to shelter orphaned nursing elephants that were roaming the jungles of Sri Lanka. He also took care, at the time, of elephants injured in time of war.\n\nNowadays, they also take in all those elephants who are victims of traffic accidents and other types of incidents in the jungle that leave them injured and who would otherwise die.\n\nThis is a public institution. For this reason, trafficking or mistreatment that occurs in other private places for profit is ruled out.$

$Washing Indian elephant after day hauling Lumber at Western Ghat\nThe logging industry in India has a long and storied history, which is inextricably entwined with the history of elephants in the country. The harvesting of timber – usually teak wood and Rubber from either plantations or natural forest – is invariably a difficult process, often in remote, unforgiving terrain which renders the use of traditional machinery impossible. The large size, strength, intelligence, and longevity of the elephant has, historically, made it a valuable asset in the logging industry, and Asian elephants has been used by humans for this purpose throughout South-East and Central Asia for centuries.\n\nTraditionally, elephants would be enrolled in training schools at around 3-5 years of age. Over the course of 5-6 years, they would be tamed and taught commands, such as stop, walk, crouch, pick up, move, lift, pull, and push, and would form a close working relationship with their Mahout. They would learn the intricacies of hauling and stacking logs, either by pulling the lumber behind them using chains, or by using their tusks and versatile trunks to move the logs. Conditions for the elephants in logging camps depended on the company, but the work was always harsh, hot, and dangerous, and many elephants in logging camps passed away at around 50 years of ages, decades short of their average life expectancy.$
