"When the new government took over in 2016 and stopped timber production in the Bago Mountain Range, the area was converted into an elephant camp to take care of injured and ageing elephants from state-owned enterprises. Soon it has become a haven for orphaned elephants and now has nine. The latest addition is named Moe Moe Lwin, which arrived on Tuesday. Moe Moe Lwin’s mother died when she was 10 months old and she was sent to be cared for by the Myanmar Timber Enterprise in Bago Region. “With the arrival of the new orphaned elephant on Tuesday, we now have a total of nine orphaned elephants in our care,” said U Sein Lwin, the officer in charge of the sanctuary. Moe Moe Lwin and four other orphaned elephants in the sanctuary are the offspring of domesticated elephants owned by the Myanma Timber Enterprise while the remaining four others were wild elephants that were orphaned after poachers killed their mothers..."
