Riddle's Elephant and Wildlife Sanctuary Charity Profile

Scott and Heidi Riddle established Riddle's Elephant and Wildlife Sanctuary in 1990, on 330 acres in Arkansas, in the south central United States.

The number of elephants has slowly grown to its present number of twelve (12) African and Asian elephants of both genders. The work of developing and building the facility continues, with an ongoing master plan in place.

Wild elephants and those in human care present special challenges; their size, intelligence, and social structure teach us that a better understanding of their needs is essential to offer them the protection they deserve.

First and foremost, we aim to provide a safe haven for elephants. Our second objective is to ensure that existing skills and knowledge within the professional elephant care community are used, developed, and passed on to future generations of elephant caregivers, thereby directly benefiting elephants.
