The province’s centre for elephant conservation said relevant agencies
have guided elephant owners how to care for the animals and reduce the
number of days and the load elephants have to carry when they serve
tourists in order to ensure their health and lifespan. The owners were
also advised to notify relevant agencies when their elephants have
health problems. Recently, the Dak Lak Elephant Conservation Centre
implanted microchips in local tame elephants. Data on each elephant such
as height, weight, sex and previous diseases are also recorded to make
it easier for managing, caring for and studying tame elephants. Dak Lak
currently has 45 tame elephants, mostly in Buon Don and Lak districts. It is also home to five wild herds with about 80 – 100 elephants in total.-VNA
