With less than 40,000 in the wild, management and breeding of Asian elephants in captivity is essential to their survival. The Rosamond Gifford Zoo has been in cooperation with the Association of Zoos and Aquarium Asian elephant Species Survival Plan since 1981.

This event if free with regular zoo admission of $6.50 for adults, $4.50 for seniors age 62+ and students 16-21 with ID,  and $4.00 for children aged 3-15.  Children two and under are free.
