Why the Los Angeles Zoo Needs Pachyderm Forest:
- Asian elephants are in danger of becoming extinct during our lifetime.
- Every citizen has the right to see elephants in their Zoo.
- Los Angeles citizens voted overwhelmingly to provide funds from two bond measures as well as private funds to build a new Pachyderm Forest.
- In 2006, after this project was vetted by activists and experts in support of elephants at Zoos, City Council voted 13-2 to build the exhibit.
- Sanctuaries are for animals who have reached the end of their lives and are not places for species survival programs.
